Why buy "Aluminium Industry Recap 2018: A Look Back at the Global Aluminium Value Chain" report?

Aluminium has been the most talked-about non-ferrous metal in the year 2018 for many reasons. New tariffs, sanctions, trade wars on one hand; and developments and expansions on the other across the entire value chain emerged as non-avoidable circumstances in the year gone by.

To start with, the temporary closure of Hydro’s Alunorte alumina refinery in Brazil and uncertainties surrounding U.S. sanctions on Rusal pushed up alumina price sky high driving the export market and boosting profits for integrated aluminium producers. Joining this, the levy of 25 per cent US tariffs on imported steel and 10 per cent on aluminium pushed the benchmark aluminium price on London Metal Exchange to its highest in almost 7 years at US$2602.5 per tonne in April 2018. Well, if the prices saw some unprecedented gains, they touched rock bottom to its sixteen months low at US$ 1869 per tonne at the end of December.

These phenomenal incidents in the aluminium industry simply could not stop us from taking a quick look back to the year 2018 and thus, the team AlCircle came up with a comprehensive Aluminium Industry Recap 2018.
