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. A month is a long time in the aluminium market. Having just about started to recover from the pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has raised new challenges to commodity markets. The price remains prone to volatility and largely headline driven for the time being. Events in March have only served to exacerbate an already tight aluminium market. Even before the invasion, power price related output cuts in Europe and firm offtake had taken the aluminium cash price and benchmark P1020 premia to multi-year highs. The aluminium market is set for a period of heightened uncertainty and volatility.
