#Indonesia's bauxite, alumina, and aluminium sectors are expanding rapidly, but gaps in mining, refining, and smelting could create supply challenges. Planned capacity increases may outpace bauxite production, leading to excess supply, lower prices, and long-term risks. Inalum urges a pause on new refinery and smelter approvals. shorturl.at/wEZSA

Qatalum's production halt raises global aluminium supply concerns, affecting prices. This could benefit Indian aluminium stocks like NALCO, Hindalco, and Vedanta. GCC disruption, geopolitical tensions, and the Strait of Hormuz crisis intensify uncertainty, potentially driving higher aluminium prices and impacting the financial performance of key producers. shorturl.at/Nm2ff #aluminium #price #Geopolitics #production #iranisraelconflict

On February 23, LME aluminium prices rose, with the cash offer increasing to $3,070/t. The 3-month bid and offer also saw slight gains. The 3-month Asian Reference Price declined to $3,089.5/t, while LME inventories dropped by 2,000 tonnes. Alumina platts price remained unchanged at $306.97/t. shorturl.at/Nwtra

@MetroMining closed 2025 with solid execution: 6.2 Mt shipped, stronger liquidity and improved port logistics at Bauxite Hills. Gains came from efficiency, not expansion. With finite reserves and remaining senior debt, durability now hinges on cost transparency, digital ROI and resilience to pricing or freight shocks in 2026 planning. shorturl.at/jxUZz

#China’s alumina and aluminium output move in tandem at 88MTand 44MT - is the country limiting alumina to track 45MT aluminium cap? shorturl.at/U5Xim

#US Section 232 tariffs up to 50% shut #EU aluminium out of the US market across primary, semis and derivatives, including autos. The EU avoided aluminium retaliation, absorbing higher costs instead. Trade rerouted rather than collapsed, sustaining speciality flows while reshaping EU aluminium supply chains. shorturl.at/3iWP1

LME aluminium edged up to about USD 2,865/t on December 5, with cash and 3-month prices rising slightly. Forward December 26 contracts dipped. Inventories fell by 2,600 tonnes, while live warrants stayed unchanged. The Asian Reference Price slipped modestly, and alumina prices eased to USD 312.26/t. shorturl.at/CqszU

US Midwest Aluminium Premiums hit a record USD 1,950.15/t after steep US tariffs slashed imports, especially from Canada, tightening supply. Premiums jumped from ~USD 520/t in January to nearly USD 2,000/t by November as tariffs rose to 50 per cent and trade negotiations collapsed. With China capped at 45 Mt and global supply shrinking, buyers now face higher costs; automotive, packaging, and construction are passing price increases downstream, ultimately landing on consumers. shorturl.at/70lCH

Vietnam is emerging as a key player in the global aluminium market, leveraging its vast bauxite reserves and growing production capabilities. With investments in smelting and processing, the country is ramping up its aluminium output. Despite a dip in exports, strong domestic demand, especially in construction and automotive, is fueling growth. Vietnam's strategic position and tariff-free opportunities present it as a potential aluminium powerhouse, particularly as China’s production limits open new doors. shorturl.at/ENCGW

The aluminium industry faces a pivotal crossroads: soaring demand from the energy transition clashes with its heavy carbon footprint. Producers must invest in low-carbon primary production, inert-anode technology, and renewable power, while boosting recycling to meet an 80% demand surge by 2050. Green premiums (~USD 50/t) and regulatory measures like CBAM reward early movers with market access and investor favour, making sustainability not just ethical but a crucial commercial advantage for profitability and long-term competitiveness. shorturl.at/guPdK

#China’s domestic #bauxite supply remains tight, keeping prices elevated, prompting some refineries to import higher-priced ore from Turkey and Montenegro. Guinea bauxite prices rose to USD 74.5/dmt amid reduced shipments during the wet season and limited spot availability, despite a WoW shipment rebound to 3.03 Mt. Alumina output in China stayed strong with an 84% operating rate, sustaining robust bauxite demand, while uncertainties over Guinea’s SD Mining and GIC resumption linger. bit.ly/4oZ8tmG

Aluminium’s cradle-to-gate footprint is dominated by electricity use, with energy mix proving decisive. Smelters powered by renewables like hydro emit less than 4 kg CO₂/kg Al, while coal-heavy grids exceed 16 kg. The IAI study shows decarbonising power supply outweighs process upgrades, making clean energy access critical for reducing emissions. bit.ly/3V8MRXk
