The doubling of levies, in response to the Canadian province of Ontario placing a 25% tariff on electricity coming into the US, take effect from 12 March 2025.

Physical market consumers of aluminium usually pay the London Metal Exchange (LME) benchmark aluminium price plus a premium covering taxes, transportation and handling expenses.

As producers pass on as much of the additional tariffs as they can, traders forecast premiums will keep rising.

Most basic and alloyed aluminium imported into the United States comes from Canadian smelters. The building, packaging, and transportation sectors all depend on aluminium.

Information source Trade Data Monitor (TDM) indicates that almost 70%, or 3.92 million metric tonnes of the main and alloyed aluminium exported to the United States last year originated from Canada. Originally intended to be a 25% tax, researchers have projected that the premium would have had to grow to 47 cents a pound or more than $1,000 a tonne to cover any additional expenses.

The US Midwest duty-paid aluminium premium surged to 45 US cents per lb, or more than $990 a metric tonne, a change of about 20%. Since 2025’s beginning, it has risen more than seventy percent.

In 2018, Trump intended to boost capacity by using taxes on aluminium under his previous presidency.

Analysts were dubious investors would be confidence to pay the big capital amounts needed since aluminium smelters take more time to build than political election cycles. Although US consumers’ premiums have increased, industry sources have indicated they are probably going to continue declining elsewhere as aluminium manufactured in nations with import taxes is redirected.

The lowest since January last year, the duty-paid physical market premium in Europe has decreased to $240 a metric tonne. Since 2025 started, it has dropped more than 35%. 

L&T has been associated with Hindalco for over three decades, playing a key role as an EPC contractor in their expansion programmes across alumina, aluminum and copper plants. The new order signifies Hindalco’s trust in L&T as a dependable partner to drive their ambitious growth plans.  

M&M earlier secured an order for setting up an 8 MTPA (million tonne per annum) Pellet Plant from a leading steel producer in India. The scope of work includes engineering, manufacturing, supply, construction & installation in collaboration with reputed technology providers. 

“M&M has successfully commissioned several steel plants and alumina refinery projects, both greenfield and brownfield, across India and the Middle East. These new orders reaffirm L&T’s leadership in EPC steel plants and alumina refinery projects and are a testament to its commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction,” said Mr D K Sen, Executive Committee Member & Advisor to the CMD, L&T.

Zelenskiy outlined this idea in his “victory plan” strategy, which was introduced last autumn to Ukraine’s allies, including Trump. This plan focuses heavily on forging partnerships with foreign nations to gain joint access to Ukraine’s valuable mineral resources.

This step reflects a strong commitment to bolstering domestic aluminum manufacturing capacity, reducing reliance on imports and fortifying critical supply chains integral to national security and economic growth, said Zelenskiy. Trump, in his statement, referred to opportunities involving “their rare earths and other things”, though the exact scope of minerals under discussion remains unclear.

Rare earths, comprising 17 metals crucial for electric vehicles, cell phones, missile systems, wind turbines, and other electronics, are indispensable in global industry. There are no viable substitutes.

China, which dominates global production of rare earths, has been a focal point of U.S. trade policy under Trump. Ukraine, however, has enormous potential as a critical minerals provider, possessing deposits of 22 of the 34 minerals identified as essential by the European Union.

Mineral Wealth Under Ukraine’s Control

Known as the breadbasket of Europe, Ukraine is also rich in mineral resources, many of which are vital to defense, high-tech industries, aerospace, and green energy. The Institute of Geology reports that Ukraine has rare earth elements such as:

Lanthanum and cerium: Used in TVs and lighting.

Neodymium: Used in wind turbines and EV batteries.

Erbium and yttrium: Applications include nuclear power and lasers.

Additionally, EU-funded research indicates that Ukraine has significant scandium reserves, though detailed data remains classified.

Zelenskiy also highlighted the importance of Ukraine’s titanium and uranium reserves, which are among Europe’s largest.

Ukraine possesses significant reserves of rare earth elements, as well as other materials critical for industries ranging from energy to defense, said Zelenskiy.

Resources Under Russian Occupation

The ongoing conflict with Russia has drastically affected Ukraine’s ability to fully utilize its mineral wealth.

Most of Ukraine’s coal reserves, crucial for its steel sector, are situated in the east and now under Russian control. Furthermore, two lithium deposits have also fallen into Russian hands—one in Donetsk and another in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Despite these losses, Ukraine still controls significant resources, including lithium deposits in the central Kyrovohrad region and vast reserves of graphite, a key component in electric vehicle batteries. These reserves represent 20% of global resources and are primarily located in central and western Ukraine.

Opportunities and Challenges for Mining

Ukraine’s government is actively working on deals with Western allies, including the United States, Britain, France, and Italy, to develop its critical materials sector. Oleksiy Sobolev, Ukraine’s first deputy economy minister, estimates the total investment potential of the sector to be between $12-15 billion by 2033.

The government, through the State Geological Service, is preparing 100 sites for joint licensing and development, though further details are yet to be disclosed.

Despite the opportunities, several barriers to investment remain, including inefficient regulatory processes, limited access to geological data, and challenges in acquiring land plots. Mining analysts caution that these projects will require years of development and substantial up-front investment.

Conclusion

Ukraine’s vast resources make it a critical player in the global rare earth and critical mineral market. Despite challenges posed by the ongoing conflict with Russia, the potential for collaboration with Western partners, particularly the United States, offers significant opportunities for innovation in defense, green energy, and high-tech industries.

If realized, these partnerships could pave the way for Ukraine to become a leading supplier of critical materials, reducing Western dependency on China while bolstering Ukraine’s economy and infrastructure.

The U.S. copper market is bracing for potential tariff impositions, with the premium between CME and London Metal Exchange (LME) copper contracts widening in response to speculation that the red metal might follow aluminium and steel in facing import duties.

U.S. President Donald Trump hasn’t yet imposed import tariffs on copper but the market is already pricing in the likelihood that the red metal will be next on the list after aluminium and steel.

The CME premium exceeded $1,000 per metric ton earlier this week, signaling market expectations of a 10% tariff at minimum. However, if 25% blanket tariffs, similar to those targeting steel and aluminium, are applied, the CME premium could rise even further.

The arbitrage gap reflects more than just tariff speculation. It highlights the vulnerability of the U.S. copper market, which depends on imports for 45% of domestic consumption, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The gap also underscores the complexity of global trade flows and how they could be disrupted by trade policies.

Mind the Widening Gap

The widening premium mirrors the tariff-driven dynamics already seen in the aluminium market. The CME aluminium contract, which reflects U.S. Midwest premium costs, has adjusted to include additional tariff-related pricing.

For copper, the CME contract inherently factors in U.S. delivery costs, making it a tradable gauge for potential tariffs on copper imports. With the U.S. copper premium now trading at record highs, it surpasses even the levels caused by last year’s short squeeze.

Although CME copper stocks have risen to over 100,000 tons, the U.S. remains heavily dependent on imports, with 800,000 tons of refined copper imported in 2024, compared to domestic production of 850,000 tons, according to the USGS.

The blanket nature of this week’s announced tariffs on aluminium and the potential for even higher duties in the event of retaliation by trading partners has evidently spooked the copper market, forcing the arbitrage ever wider.

Damage Impact

The immediate concern for the U.S. copper market is the tariff impact on refined metal imports, but the ripple effects could extend beyond. The U.S., Mexico, and Canada maintain an intricate copper trade relationship, and the proposed 25% tariffs threaten to disrupt these established flows.

For instance, the U.S. exports 220,000 tons of copper wire to Mexico annually, where it is manufactured into automotive components such as wiring harnesses and electric motors. These parts are then re-imported into the U.S. for use in vehicle production.

Slapping high tariffs on such imports is likely to see harness assembly relocate from Mexico to lower-cost Asian countries with negative knock-on effects for both Mexican and U.S. companies in the automotive supply chain.

Moreover, both Canada and Mexico supply U.S. processors with significant amounts of copper scrap. Tariffs could divert this scrap to other countries, especially China, which would reduce the availability of secondary copper in the domestic U.S. market. This could negatively impact U.S.-based secondary production facilities.

Tariff Drag and Global Growth Concerns

Copper’s role as a global economic barometer means it is highly sensitive to geopolitical and trade tensions. Known as Doctor Copper, the metal is deeply embedded in the global industrial economy.

The interconnectedness of North American copper flows is just part of a bigger complex globalised picture, leaving the metal highly vulnerable to the sort of shift in trading patterns likely to ensue from U.S. tariffs.

In addition to U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade flows, the potential for tit-for-tat tariffs with other trading partners could harm global consumption levels. This escalates concerns about the long-term impact on global growth.

While the LME copper price has risen by 7% since January on expectations of stronger Chinese demand, escalating tariff tensions could put downward pressure on international prices even as the CME premium widens further.

Doctor Copper has earned the honorific title precisely because the metal is so embedded in the global industrial economy.

Conclusion

As the copper market adjusts to the threat of U.S. tariffs, the widening CME-LME premium reflects growing uncertainty. While short-term trade flows may shift to mitigate tariff impacts, the long-term effects on global supply chains and consumption could be far-reaching.

The U.S. copper market remains highly vulnerable to tariff-driven disruptions, and the interconnected nature of global copper flows could amplify the economic consequences. For now, the arbitrage gap serves as a gauge for both potential tariffs and the broader implications of a trade war involving copper.

Under this partnership, both companies will share information, results, and costs covering various stages of research and development, ranging from lab tests conducted with external suppliers to larger on-site pilot projects. The ultimate goal is to create improved carbon capture technologies that are suitable for aluminium smelting operations, leveraging the expertise and capabilities of relevant suppliers.

$45 Million Investment in Carbon Capture Research

Hydro and Rio Tinto are committing approximately USD 45 million over five years to support this initiative, with the majority of R&D activities taking place at Hydro’s facilities in Norway and Rio Tinto’s facilities in Europe. While the partnership represents a collaborative effort, both companies will continue to pursue independent decarbonization initiatives alongside this joint venture.

Anode consumption during the electrolysis process currently accounts for around 75% of a smelter’s direct CO2 emissions, making carbon capture technologies critical to achieving climate goals. Hydro and Rio Tinto have been working for years to explore complementary solutions, such as Hydro’s HalZero technology and Rio Tinto’s participation in the ELYSIS joint venture, to address this challenge.

Shared Vision for a Net-Zero Emission Aluminium Industry

“Hydro is accelerating our ambitious roadmap to achieve net-zero aluminium production by 2050 or sooner, advancing solutions across every step of our value chain, from mine to metal. Carbon capture technologies are critical to decarbonizing existing smelters. Our partnership with Rio Tinto will amplify efforts to develop fit for purpose solutions that can accelerate the aluminium industry’s transition towards net-zero production,” said Hydro President and CEO Eivind Kallevik.

“Rio Tinto’s is committed to reaching net-zero emissions from our operations by 2050, and we know that achieving our climate objectives will require a portfolio of solutions. By working in partnership with Hydro to assess certain carbon capture technologies for aluminium smelters, we are finding better ways to leverage our complementary networks and R&D capabilities to address the climate change challenge,” added Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm.

Technical Challenges and Development Efforts

Capturing carbon emissions from aluminium smelters, where CO2 concentrations are around 1 percent, presents unique technical challenges. To adapt to this, the partnership will explore both direct air capture technologies designed for higher concentrations and point source technologies suited for lower concentrations.

Currently, the technology readiness level for carbon capture in aluminium smelters is low, requiring significant advancements to move from laboratory research to commercial-scale implementation. Hydro and Rio Tinto’s collaboration is designed to accelerate the development process, making it feasible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the aluminium industry.

This partnership symbolizes a united effort to address one of the aluminium industry’s most pressing challenges. By leveraging their combined R&D capabilities and investing in innovative technologies, Hydro and Rio Tinto aim to lead the way in creating a sustainable future for aluminium production.

“This step reflects a strong commitment to bolstering domestic aluminum manufacturing capacity, reducing reliance on imports and fortifying critical supply chains integral to national security and economic growth,” according to a news release from Washington-based SAFE (Securing America’s Future Energy) announcing the award.

Century Aluminum was selected in March 2024 by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations under the Industrial Demonstrations Program (IDP). The company has begun negotiations for up to $500 million in funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act to establish a new aluminum smelter.

Addressing U.S. Aluminum Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

Aluminum plays a pivotal role in industries spanning defense, infrastructure, and clean energy, and has become a cornerstone of U.S. economic and energy security. The new DOE-backed project underscores the need to increase domestic production, reduce reliance on imports, and mitigate risks associated with global supply chain instability.

“America’s ability to lead again on production of critical materials like aluminum is essential to safeguarding its economic sovereignty and reducing exposure to geopolitical adversaries who seek to dominate global supply chains,” says Joe Quinn, executive director, Center for Strategic Industrial Materials at SAFE.

This initiative is seen as a critical step toward reshaping the aluminum industry, modernizing supply chains, and reinforcing America’s leadership in sustainable and strategic materials production.

SAFE’s mission centers on advancing policies that support America’s ability to produce critical materials domestically, ensuring economic security and insulating against foreign economic pressures. The organization’s Center for Strategic Industrial Materials (C-SIM) collaborates with producers, buyers, and government entities to strengthen domestic industry supply chain resilience.

A Major Job Creation Opportunity

Century Aluminum expects the proposed smelter project to create significant economic opportunities within the U.S., including:

Over 1,000 full-time jobs represented by the United Steelworkers union.

More than 5,500 construction jobs during the smelter’s development phase.

Additionally, the company plans to work closely with local job training organizations and technical colleges near the smelter’s chosen location, ensuring community members have access to the training needed to secure these opportunities.

Although the exact site for the new smelter has not yet been determined, Century has indicated that the plant is likely to be built within the Ohio/Mississippi River basins, consistent with its efforts to align with existing energy and transportation infrastructure.

Aligning With U.S. Modernization and Sustainability Goals

SAFE notes that Century Aluminum’s agreement with the DOE aligns with ongoing national efforts to modernize energy systems, integrate sustainable practices, and foster industrial innovation. These efforts ensure the competitiveness of the U.S. aluminum sector on the global stage while prioritizing environmental sustainability.

The DOE-funded project marks a forward-looking step for Century Aluminum, the U.S. aluminum industry, and the broader economy. It reinforces America’s commitment to securing critical materials supply chains, bolstering job creation, and advancing sustainable manufacturing practices.
