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 global supply/demand balance for primary aluminium is negative by 1 Mt in 2019 but with 66 days of stock available, the market does not feel in short supply, as stocks are still six days higher than the historical average. In this context, we have lowered our near-term LME cash forecast.
