Aluminum futures are nearing a three-year high, reaching approximately $2,730 per tonne due to anticipated lower supply. China's revised output growth target for base metals is now 1.5% annually for 2025 and 2026, down from 5%. This aligns with a cap of 45 million tons on aluminum output, which is expected to be exceeded this year. Additionally, Alcoa plans to close its Kwinana alumina refinery in Australia due to declining bauxite grades. Global primary aluminum stocks fell by 55,000 tonnes in September, totaling 413,000 tonnes.
