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.
東京，10月5日(路透社)-六位直接參與定價談判的消息人士稱，10月至12月向日本買家發貨的鋁的溢價定為每噸220美元，較前一季度上漲19%，反映出在供應緊張的情況下，海外溢價上升。
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.
這一數字高於7月至9月季度的每噸185美元，也標誌着連續第五個季度上漲，儘管低於生產商最初提出的230至250美元的報價。
