raw spot

Since February, however, alumina spot prices have fallen sharply, allowing some idled Chinese aluminium capacity to restart ( see Raw Materials article, Page 2).

不过，自2月份以来，氧化铝现货价格大幅下挫，使中国一些闲置产能得以重新启动。

These problems include the bad environment on the spot, the severe material wastes, the insufficient understanding of the bottleneck, unreasonable material warehouse layout and massive raw material piled up the production spot.

这些问题主要表现为生产现场环境差；员工节约意识淡薄，原材料浪费严重；对生产中瓶颈工序的认识不足；物料仓库布局不合理，大量原材料堆积生产现场。

With annual negotiations about to begin at the China International Steel and raw materials conference in Qingdao this week, the benchmark is likely to suffer further in favour of contracts linked to the spot market.

随着新一轮年度谈判即将于本周在青岛的中国钢铁原材料国际研讨会（china international steel and raw materials conference）上拉开序幕，基准定价机制可能会进一步受到与现货市场挂钩的合同的挑战。
