2008 November Issue
Production cuts accelerate as stocks weigh on prices

·      Prices continue to test multi year lows with producers battered by weak demand and rising stocks. Oil prices slipped further below US$60/barrel failing to offer support to metal prices.

·      A struggling world economy has hit major aluminium consuming sectors with car producers in US suffering, construction markets in Southern Europe imploding and Chinese consumption flagging. The world’s hopes rest on the resilience of the Chinese economic engine that should benefit from a US$586 billion stimulus package.

·      Producers around the world are in the process of cutting production by almost 3 million tpy with production costs falling fast in China offering some respite to local producers.
