"Maybe deliveries on the roads have been slightly affected, but nothing has impacted production or prices so far. It's just raining now," a source from aluminum smelter Guangxi Yinhai said. "We've not heard any other aluminum producer in the region affected much either," he added.

A source from Aluminum Corp of China (Chalco) agreed, saying: "Transport has been affected, but we're not certain if any production has been impacted yet. If production is affected, that will definitely impact prices."

"There's no impact on our Guangxi operations yet from the typhoon, nothing we've heard so far, but we must still wait and see," a third source from major alumina refiner Shandong Xinfa Group said.

Typhoon Mangkhut made landfall in the town of Haiyan in sourthern China Sunday evening. China's southern regions face more heavy rainfall on Monday as the storm sweeps west, local news reported, quoting the country's weather bureau.
