• Ikusasa le-aluminium eLondon likhuphuke lafinyelela ku-$2,697 ithani lemethrikhi ngoMsombuluko, okuyiphuzu eliphakeme kakhulu kusukela ngo-2011.
• Insimbi ikhuphuke cishe ngama-80% kusukela ngoMeyi 2020, lapho ubhubhane lucindezela inani lokuthengisa.
• Ukunikezwa kwe-aluminium okuningi kubambeke e-Asia kuyilapho izinkampani zase-US kanye ne-Europe zibhekene nezinselelo ze-supply chain.

Izintengo ze-aluminium zifinyelela ukuphakama kweminyaka eyi-10 njengoba uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka oluxazululwa yizinselele luhluleka ukuhlangabezana nesidingo esikhulayo.

Ikusasa le-aluminium eLondon likhuphuke lafinyelela ku-$2,697 ithani lemethrikhi ngoMsombuluko, indawo ephakeme kakhulu kusukela ngo-2011 ensimbi esetshenziswa emathini eziphuzo, ezindizeni nasekwakhiweni. Intengo imele ukweqa okucishe kube ngama-80% ukusuka endaweni ephansi ngoMeyi 2020, lapho ubhubhane ludayisela ukuthengiswa kwezimboni zezokuthutha kanye ne-aerospace.

Ngenkathi kune-aluminium eyanele yokuhamba emhlabeni jikelele, ukunikezwa okuningi kubambeke e-Asia njengoba abathengi baseMelika nabaseYurophu bezabalaza ukuthola izandla zabo kuyo, ngokusho kombiko ovela kwaI-Wall Street Journal.

Amachweba okuthutha njengaseLos Angeles naseLong Beach agcwele ama-oda, kanti iziqukathi ezisetshenziswa ukuhambisa izinsimbi zezimboni ziyashoda, kusho iJournal. Amanani wokuthumela nawo akhuphuka ngendlela ethrendayokuhle ezinkampanini zemikhumbi, kodwa kubi kumakhasimende okufanele abhekane nezindleko ezikhuphukayo.

"Ayikho insimbi eyanele ngaphakathi eNyakatho Melika," uRoy Harvey, oyi-CEO yenkampani ye-aluminium i-Alcoa etshela i-Journal.

Umbuthano we-Aluminium upenda umehluko omkhulu phakathi kwezinye izinto ezihlanganisa iCopper kanye neLumber, okubone amanani azo ehla njengokuhlinzekwa kanye nesidingo esilingana nonyaka nesigamu kulo bhubhane.
