TOKYO, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Some Japanese aluminium buyers have agreed to pay a global producer a premium of $228 per metric ton over the benchmark price for shipments from January to March, up 30% from this quarter, two sources directly involved in the talks said.
The fourth consecutive quarterly increase, the figure exceeds the $175 per ton paid in the quarter from October to December.
Japan is a major Asian importer of the light metal and the premiums for primary metal shipments it agrees to pay each quarter over the benchmark London Metal Exchange $(LME.UK)$ cash price set the yardstick for the region.
