Global aluminium industry challenged by raw materials supply disruptions and soaring production costs

摘要

Along with its third quarter report, aluminium producer Rusal has given an overview of trends in the aluminium industry: The aluminium price was affected by investors sell-off during the second half of the quarter on rising trade tensions between the US and China, which may continue to adversely impact the future economic growth and industrial activity. On contrast, bulk materials prices including oil, coal, iron ore as well as alumina and bauxite remained high amid strong physical market and strong economic activity in the key industrial regions.
