Oh no!
Anyway.
If it wasn’t clear in the headline, this is us selling aluminum, not buying it.
>Canada is pushing more of its aluminum towards Europe to make the most of higher premiums on offer, after its neighbor the United States imposed a 50 per cent tariff on the metal last year.
>A loss of Middle East volumes due to the Iran war has hit Europe hardest and intensified competition with the U.S. for low-carbon supply, driving prices to extreme levels, with policy and prices determining where scarce aluminum is shipped, analysts, traders and aluminum industry sources said.
>Duty-paid aluminum premiums in Europe have surged 73 per cent since the start of the Iran war to a record US$621 a metric ton earlier this month, while the U.S. Midwest premium last week hit an all-time high of US$1.16 per lb, or US$2,557 a ton.
>Gregory Wittbecker, president at Wittsend Commodity Advisors, estimates the U.S. Midwest premium needs to rise to at least US$1.20 a lb or US$2,645 a ton for Canadian producers to divert supply back from Europe.
>TDM data shows Canadian aluminum accounted for 54 per cent of U.S. imports in the first quarter of this year, down from 63 per cent in the same period last year and 75 per cent in the first three months of 2024.
>Canadian aluminum exports to the European Union ranged between 6 per cent and 40 per cent of the monthly totals between April 2025 and March 2026, compared with near zero in the first quarter of last year, TDM data showed.
>Even before the Iran war began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28, **Canadian shipments to Europe jumped 276 per cent from 2024 levels to more than 590,000 tons last year**, while deliveries to the U.S. fell 25 per cent to around two million tons, TDM data shows.
The main thing is fu US
Trump loves to FA and FO
I wonder how the US has been replacing Canadian aluminium. I guess they are importing from a cheaper supplier to make out for the tariffs? Or they are still slow going through their stockpile?
Donny is going to fill his diaper.
Yay Quebec! What a win !
What a string of events put together to give this outcome. It will be in Economic Textbooks of the future.
I think we should still respectfully invite President Trump to Ottawa for a state visit.
Smart and only move to stop relying on the us. Their tourism has been begging Canadians to visit. Let’s keep going.
Jamieson Greer has not included Canada in this weeks trade talks. The talks are virtually stalled as the trade data is in Canada.
Greer is kind of a w—m sadly.
Hes been here, G8 summit, didnt fit in and left a day early.
