Report summary
The aluminium market service short term outlook (STO) is published monthly and provides a forecast of aluminium supply and demand fundamentals over the next two-years. The official LME cash price moved decisively above US$2700/t in late August, driven by a slew of supply disruptions in China and strong offtake. With market sentiment focused on supply constraints, a tight physical market and record premia prices simply shrugged off weak economic activity data coming out of China. Against this background we forecast a market in deficit this year.
