Asian tech selloff, a stronger dollar and expectations that Middle Eastern supply will resume after a temporary US‑Iran agreement have driven aluminium toward a fourth consecutive weekly decline, the longest run since April 2025; the region supplies about 10% of global output and prices are forecast to be down roughly 7% on the week. A merchant vessel attack on Thursday revived Strait of Hormuz security concerns and increased shipping uncertainty. Copper and other industrial metals also fell as tech-led risk‑off hit demand-linked metals used in electronics, cabling and AI data‑centre builds. Jinrui Futures said near‑term macro sentiment remains negative and aluminium is likely to trade weakly and choppily.
