Report summary
The US sanctions against Russian oligarchs and their companies have thrown the aluminium market into a frenzy. Even before the sanctions were announced, smelters were scraping the bottom of the silos for alumina. The Albras smelter in Brazil became the first casualty of the current alumina squeeze. With no clear timeline for the restart of Alunorte and the loss of output from Aughinish, market participants are now questioning which smelter will be the next to curtail output?
