Global aluminum output falls 1.5% in June
Global aluminum production in June decreased by 1.5%, reaching 5.98 million tons, due to a one-third decline in output from the Gulf region following Iranian attacks on two local smelters in late March. These attacks led to shipment halts and a decrease in Gulf production to 332,000 tons, compared to 507,000 tons a year earlier. Worldwide, daily production experienced a slight increase of 0.3% compared to May, reaching approximately 199,300 tons. Meanwhile, Emirates Global Aluminium is resuming production at the Al Taweelah smelter more rapidly than anticipated after its emergency closure in March, with expectations to restore previous levels within the year.
