Summary :

Aluminum futures in the UK hovered around $2,870 per tonne, near the one-month high reached on December 5th, supported by improving demand prospects and tight global supply. China has recently signaled fresh stimulus measures to extend the combat against its property crisis, a move that could boost demand for industrial metals. Also, the world’s top producer is expected to approach its 45-million-ton annual cap, leaving limited room for further production growth. At the same time, plans to build new smelters in Indonesia continue to face setbacks due to higher energy costs and regulatory challenges. Supply pressures were compounded by disruptions elsewhere, including the suspension of one potline at Iceland’s Grundartangi smelter due equipment failure. So far this year, aluminum prices have risen nearly 14%.
