About Aluminium
Aluminium is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant industrial metal quoted in US dollars per tonne and widely used in transportation, packaging, construction, and electrical applications.
Its production is exceptionally energy-intensive — smelting aluminium from alumina requires large quantities of electricity — meaning power costs and energy policy are critical determinants of both supply and the metal's price.
The aluminium price is driven by Chinese smelting capacity and output, global energy prices, demand from the automotive and aerospace sectors, and the US dollar, with supply-side constraints often originating from rising electricity costs or government production curbs.

What Moves Aluminium
Energy Costs and Power Policy
Aluminium smelting is one of the most electricity-intensive industrial processes, so rising power costs or policy-driven production curbs directly constrain supply and influence prices.
China Production and Demand
China dominates global aluminium smelting capacity and consumption, meaning its industrial policy, energy restrictions, and economic conditions are pivotal for the market.
Automotive and Aerospace Demand
Aluminium's use in vehicle lightweighting and aircraft construction ties its demand closely to conditions in these industries.
Bauxite and Alumina Supply
Disruptions to bauxite mining or alumina refining upstream in the supply chain can constrain smelter output and tighten availability of finished metal.
US Dollar
Aluminium is priced in US dollars on international markets, so dollar strength or weakness affects purchasing power for non-dollar buyers and influences global demand.

Aluminium — Questions
How much is Aluminium live price today?
The live price is shown in the chart above and updates throughout the trading session. Aluminium can move on energy policy announcements and Chinese production data, so always check the live chart and current bid/ask before trading.
Can I trade aluminium with leverage?
Yes. Eligible clients at Centrino Capital can trade aluminium as a commodity CFD with flexible leverage and transparent margin requirements. As with all leveraged products, both profits and losses are amplified relative to the initial margin.
Why are energy costs so important to the aluminium price?
Producing aluminium through the smelting of alumina requires very large quantities of electricity, making energy one of the largest cost inputs for producers. When power prices rise sharply or governments curtail industrial electricity use, smelters may reduce output, tightening supply and supporting prices.
How does China influence the global aluminium market?
China is both the largest producer and the largest consumer of aluminium worldwide. Government policies on energy use, production caps, and infrastructure spending in China therefore have an outsized influence on global supply and demand balances.
Do I receive physical aluminium when trading this instrument?
No. Trading aluminium via a CFD is a financial transaction that tracks the price without any requirement to handle or take delivery of the physical metal.
