The strengthening of the US dollar has caused aluminum prices to drop to the lowest level since February, with a cumulative decline of 16% in June

According to Jinshi, due to the continued strengthening of the US dollar, industrial metals are under overall pressure, with aluminum prices falling to their lowest level since mid-February. After a cumulative decline of 16% in June (the largest monthly drop since 2008), the downward trend in aluminum prices has continued. The US dollar index has risen for the second consecutive day, with a cumulative increase of 2.5% over the past two months, which has raised the cost of dollar-denominated commodities for most buyers.
