The US aluminum trihydrate market strengthened in September 2026 as downstream procurement, rising overseas production costs, and shipping bottlenecks supported prices. In contrast, Bosnia’s market faced a quarterly correction as European buyers drew on accumulated inventories and lower caustic soda costs eased manufacturing pressures, highlighting diverging regional price trends.

Crying “discrimination”, the Anil Agarwal-promoted Vedanta Aluminium Ltd (VAL) wants to initiate a fresh dialogue with the environment ministry to arrive at a solution enabling the expansion of its aluminum refinery in Orissa.

Alcoa Inc asked a federal judge in Pittsburgh to dismiss a bribery lawsuit filed against the company by an aluminum maker controlled by the Bahrain government. Aluminum Bahrain BSC claims New York based Alcoa reaped more than USD 400 million in illegal profits by overcharging it for alumina used to make aluminum. The company, known as Alba said part of that money was used to pay bribes to senior executives of Alba and to the Bahrain government. Ms Lori K Lecker spokeswomen of Alcoa said that the company has moved to dismiss this case in its entirety because Alba's claims are not supported by law or by fact.

We've all heard the lines about increasing global competition for natural resources. The world is not the same as it was ten or even five years ago. New sources of demand have emerged for oil, iron, copper and natural gas. And competition for all of these resources has become fiercer. This isn't just talk. Watching the news, you can see the signs of "elbows out" resource markets all over the globe. Case in point. This week, metals data provider Platts announced it will start publishing the world's first daily alumina price. Traditionally, alumina (the ore that smelters use to make finished aluminum) has been priced indirectly. The industry simply used a percentage of the world price for finished aluminum. This was seen as an acceptable proxy for alumina demand. But demand for the input...
