Aluminum Hits 3-Month Low as 60-Day Iran Oil License Signals Supply Return

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 23

Summary

  • Aluminum touched a three-month low after progress in Middle East peace talks raised expectations that supplies from the region could return.
  • A 60-day US license letting Iran sell oil internationally added to that view by giving Tehran an economic lifeline while negotiations toward a permanent peace deal continue.
  • The price move reflects easing supply-risk fears in a key metal-producing region, reversing some of the support that geopolitical tensions had provided.
