What Could Work in Alcoa’s Favor This Year?

What Could Work in Alcoa’s Favor This Year?

Although aluminum and alumina have retreated from their 2018 highs after President Donald Trump softened the RUSAL sanctions, global aluminum and alumina markets are expected to be in a deficit by some observers, including companies such as Alcoa.
