Aluminum prices averaging $2,003 in Q4 2018. The maximum forecast provided for the period was $2,300 and the minimum was $1,779.

During the year, there will be a number of factors for investors to watch. One is the US government’s two separate national security investigations into imports of aluminum and steel, which have a January 2018 deadline for recommendations. They are expected to result in a combination of tariffs and quotas on imports from China, and could impact aluminum prices.

Shanghai Futures Exchange aluminum stocks are still at “record highs,” and added that China could ramp up aluminum production after the winter period ends in mid-March.

“[The] new capacity additions and restarts could be a catalyst for a correction in the aluminium prices. But a correction — not a price collapse,”

“capacity controls, environment and consolidation will be the key themes to watch out for in 2018.”

Aluminium Extrusion demand remains buoyant with ever growing uses in automotive, transportation, packaging, building and construction, marine, consumer durables, solar, industrial equipments, defence and power sectors.
