Sina Finance reported on March 31st that the market's concerns about a global aluminum supply crisis began to heat up due to Iran's recent attacks on two major aluminum producers in the Middle East over the past weekend. International aluminum futures prices surged overnight, approaching $4,000 per ton during the trading day. Analysts point out that in terms of the scale of impact, this round of attacks may become one of the most serious supply disruptions in the history of the aluminum market. It is understood that the Middle East region accounts for approximately 9% of global aluminum supply, and the two factories that were attacked have a combined annual production capacity of approximately 3.2 million tons.
