Jin10 data June 12 news, JPMorgan pointed out that last week the United States unexpectedly doubled the aluminum tariff to 50%, bringing great uncertainty to the industry. The 50% tariff does not seem to be fully reflected in the premium of Midwest aluminum prices relative to London aluminum prices. Although the existing inventory in the United States can provide a short-term buffer, it will soon be depleted. Given the uncertainty over whether the 50% tariff will ultimately be lifted or whether key exemptions will alleviate the pressure, the premiums for aluminum in both regions seem to be in a state of paralysis.
