flag China's production cap drives aluminum prices toward $4,000 as demand from green tech surges.

flag Aluminium prices are expected to rise in 2026 due to China’s 45-million-tonne production cap limiting supply, while demand surges from electric vehicles, renewable energy, and infrastructure projects. flag Despite some new smelting capacity in Indonesia and recycled aluminium growth, supply constraints from Europe and raw material bottlenecks in Guinea are unlikely to ease. flag LME prices reached $3,065 per tonne in early January, with forecasts reaching up to $4,000 if trends continue. flag Strong demand fundamentals, driven by aluminium’s role in decarbonization and lightweighting, support long-term price strength, though near-term volatility is expected.
