TOKYO, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The premium for aluminium shipments to Japanese buyers for October to December was set at $220 a tonne, up 19% from the previous quarter, reflecting higher overseas premiums amid tight supply, six sources directly involved in pricing talks said.
东京，10月5日(路透社)-六位直接参与定价谈判的消息人士称，10月至12月向日本买家发货的铝的溢价定为每吨220美元，较前一季度上涨19%，反映出在供应紧张的情况下，海外溢价上升。
The figure is higher than the $185 per tonne paid in the July-September quarter and marks a fifth consecutive quarterly increase though it came below the initial offers of $230-$250 made by producers.
这一数字高于7月至9月季度的每吨185美元，也标志着连续第五个季度上涨，尽管低于生产商最初提出的230至250美元的报价。
