Aluminium Association calls for immediate action on Bipartisan Permitting Reform
Johnson, president & CEO of the Aluminium Association, issued the following statement calling for action on the bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act: “America needs aluminium. As demand for this essential material continues to grow, we need common sense permitting reform to ensure that we can responsibly build out American both primary and recycled aluminium production. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act represents an important opportunity to modernise our outdated permitting system, accelerate critical energy and infrastructure projects, and provide the certainty businesses need to invest in America. We applaud Senators Lee, Heinrich, Capito and Whitehouse for their leadership in advancing this commonsense legislation. Through our “America Needs Aluminium”...
EGA restarts 50% of Al Taweelah aluminium smelter, targets full production by Q1 2027
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) has restarted 631 of the 1,262 reduction cells at its Al Taweelah aluminium smelter in the UAE, marking a major milestone in recovery efforts following an emergency shutdown on March 28 amid regional security developments that affected operations at Khalifa Economic Zone Abu Dhabi. The shutdown required a full evacuation of the Al Taweelah site, leaving molten aluminium frozen inside every reduction cell. EGA began restarting the first restored cell on May 26 and is now progressing across all three potlines simultaneously, with teams working to restore the remaining cells. Despite the scale of the disruption, EGA continues to expect the Al Taweelah aluminium smelter to return to full production during the first quarter of 2027. Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, Chief...

Mexico seeks US tariff relief on aluminium, steel and vehicles before end of 2026
Mexico hopes to secure a favourable response from the United States to its request for lower tariffs on aluminium, steel and vehicles before the end of 2026, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said. The Trump administration imposed 50 per cent tariffs on Mexican aluminium and steel and 25 per cent tariffs on vehicles, with an exemption for vehicles with US content. The duties were introduced on national security grounds under Section 232 of the US Trade Expansion Act. Speaking at a press conference in Mexico City, the Economy Minister said Mexican officials had presented technical arguments and supporting evidence to US authorities to justify reducing the tariffs. He argued that the United States runs a steel trade surplus with Mexico, making the tariffs on the metal unjustified from the...

Aluminium prices return to February levels as supply-chain pressures persist
London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month aluminium prices have returned to just above USD 3,000 per tonne, close to their levels in early February, before US and Israeli military operations against Iran began. However, the apparent stability in prices masks continuing pressure across the physical aluminium supply chain, following Iranian missile attacks on Gulf smelters and disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Almost 3 million tonnes of aluminium production capacity has been knocked out by the disruptions. Eight months later, the market appears relatively unconcerned, with traders relying on rising output from Indonesia and increased Chinese exports of aluminium products to compensate for the shortfall until Gulf smelters recover and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz...
