Capital Magazine / Will Price Pressure on Aluminum Continue?
Protectionist trade policies adopted by many countries—particularly the United States and China—are making it more difficult to secure aluminum, which is critical for industries such as defense, automotive, and machinery, while also putting pressure on prices. In this context, raw material supply security and cost management are becoming increasingly strategic for manufacturers.
Hüseyin Seherli, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Panda Aluminium, commented on the issue as follows: “Potential interest rate cuts by the Fed and the easing of global monetary policies may lead to increased investment in commodities. This, in turn, could create upward pressure on raw material prices.”
