Aluminum price in USD per metric ton (IMF). The most-produced base metal globally at 70M+ tons annually, aluminum is critical for aerospace, automotive, packaging, and construction. Aluminum smelting consumes ~2% of global electricity, making it tightly linked to energy prices. China produces 57% of the world's aluminum — its energy policy and export quotas drive global price swings.
