Report summary
Despite an increasingly gloomy outlook for the global economy, there were some signs of stability for the aluminium price amid heightened uncertainty over European gas prices. After dropping from an early June high of just under US$2800/t to US$2320/t in mid-July, the official cash price spent most of the second half of the month just above US$2400/t. For the time being prices will continue to be driven by further negative economic news but will find support from mounting margin pressure and the light metals’ high energy leverage.
