The aluminum market is experiencing the biggest supply shock of the century due to disruptions in the Gulf region, which supplies about 9% of global primary aluminum. This has caused a 2 million ton deficit forecast by year-end, impacting Europe and the U.S. heavily as they scramble for alternative sources. Europe struggles with high power costs and environmental rules limiting domestic production, while the U.S. faces power supply competition from tech infrastructure. China is increasing exports to fill the gap, while Canada, with its hydro-powered smelters, emerges as a strategic supplier. This supply crunch highlights the critical role of energy availability and geopolitical tensions in metal markets.
