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 fell to a month-low of US$2353/t as US inflation fears gripped market sentiment, driving up the US dollar. However, prices recouped their earlier losses and bounced back to over US$2500/t at the of the month. Near-term price direction will be influenced by how successful the Chinese stockpile sale is in moving prices lower and by the Russian export tax on aluminium. We think the former will have little effect while the latter could lift prices towards the US$2600/t level.
