Aluminum rises in price to 28-month high

The metal, widely used in vehicle manufacturing and packaging, rose last week on supply concerns to $ 1,981, its highest since December 2014.

Expectations of supply disruptions have led to a tightening of the market, but price increases are likely to be short-lived as producers restart capacity and fill any gap between supply and demand. We are talking about a decrease in the capacity of aluminum production in China in the process of modernization and consolidation of plants due to environmental problems.
