Norway's Hydro has decided to shut down its majority-owned primary aluminum smelter in Slovakia by the end of September due to high electricity costs amid the worsening European energy crisis.
Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Copenhagen-based Saxo Bank, said more news about smelter closures has raised market concerns about tight supply, which supported aluminum prices.
