China’s bauxite imports rise 17.5% in H1 2026 despite 45Mt aluminium production capacity cap: What is driving the surge?
China is importing bauxite at a pace that raises a bigger question for the aluminium market: why are imports still climbing when the country is moving towards a 45-million-tonne primary aluminium production capacity cap? In H1 2026, China imported 121 million tonnes of bauxite, up from 103 million tonnes in H1 2025, a rise of 17.5 per cent. Imports were also well above the 77 million tonnes recorded in H1 2024, after rising 33.8 per cent between H1 2024 and H1 2025. If we see, quarter on quar ...

China eases aluminium shortage after Iran war, but pressure shifts to Western fabricators
China is helping cushion Western aluminium markets after production losses in the Gulf caused by the Iran war. Yet the export surge could come with a longer-term cost: more aluminium processing activity may shift from Western manufacturers to Chinese producers. China, the world’s largest aluminium producer, has increased exports of primary metal, alloy and semi-finished aluminium products as Western supply chains adjust to reduced Gulf output. The additional material has helped reduce the mar ...

Women’s shelter gets billion-dollar “smelter” boost in hilarious mix-up
A women’s shelter in New South Wales has reportedly received an extraordinary financial boost after the Australian Government allegedly mistook it for an aluminium smelter. According to the humorous report, the government had recently approved AUD 2.5 billion (USD 1.76 billion) in taxpayer support for Rio Tinto’s Tomago aluminium smelter near Newcastle. When a women’s shelter later applied for AUD 2,500 (USD 1,760) in assistance, officials supposedly confused the two applications. The mix-up ...

From Hormuz to Washington: How 2Mt of Gulf aluminium puts US imports under pressure and disrupts global supply chains
Aluminium is increasingly getting caught in the fallout from the Middle East conflict.

The pressure is particularly significant for the Gulf, home to some of the world's major aluminium producers, and is beginning to expose the supply risks faced by major importing markets such as the US. Why the Strait of Hormuz mat ...
