Middle East conflict revives Pentagon concerns over US high-purity aluminium supply
A Pentagon-led simulation has brought fresh attention to the US’ dependence on imported high-purity aluminium, a critical raw material used in military aircraft, armoured vehicles and other defence applications. Conducted months before recent disruptions spurred by the Middle East conflict, the exercise had the US aluminium supply chain in focus. It examined how the US aluminium supply chain would respond during a major geopolitical conflict and identified high-purity aluminium as one of the ...

Some aluminium plants in the Middle East announce production resumptions, overseas daily average aluminium production up 1.6 per cent M-o-M
According to SMM statistics, total outside-China aluminium production in July 2026 fell 6.7 per cent Y-o-Y, mainly due to a Y-o-Y decline in operating rates at Middle East aluminium smelters. Outside-China daily average production rebounded 1.6 per cent M-o-M, mainly driven by ongoing production resumptions at smelters in the Middle East and Iceland, as well as output increases brought by project ramp-ups and power-on commissioning in Indonesia, Vietnam, and other locations. In July, there we ...

China aluminium bar processing fees slump nearly 20 per cent as downstream orders dry up
Recently, China's aluminium bar sector has been challenged by the off-season impact coupled with high temperatures, leading to shrinking orders and declining operating rates at downstream enterprises. The industry's overall operation has shown a slow, sluggish pace, which in turn has directly caused the bar market to struggle. In June, stimulated by both falling aluminium prices and supply contraction, the traders were increasingly firm to the offers, with daily quotations continuously climbi ...

US adds five Xinjiang aluminium producers to forced labour entity list
The US has added 43 Chinese companies, including several aluminium producers, to its forced labour entity list, increasing pressure on automakers to review their aluminium supply chains. The companies were added under the Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act (UFLPA). This US law presumes goods produced by listed entities are linked to forced labour in China's Xinjiang region. They are therefore prohibited from entering the US.  The list includes five major aluminium producers based in Xinjian ...

China aluminium pricing shifts to regional flows, lifting South China premium by RMB 60-100/tonne on southwest conversion surge
The core pricing logic of the domestic aluminium market has undergone a fundamental shift. By 2026, China's total aluminium production capacity has reached the policy-controlled ceiling. With industry-wide operating rates already elevated and room for further capacity expansion effectively exhausted, the sector has formally exited the era of volume-driven growth. As industrial policies continue to guide the coordinated clustering of aluminium smelting and downstream processing, the traditiona ...
