Aluminium Shares Decline as Norsk Hydro's Alunorte Refinery Resumes Production
Shares of Vedanta Aluminium, Hindalco, and National Aluminium Company (NALCO) declined following a drop in aluminium prices after Norsk Hydro resumed production at its Alunorte refinery in Brazil. The refinery, one of the world's largest alumina producers, increased output after Brazil's regulator approved it as a self-importer of gas and a temporary supply agreement was reached. This eased concerns over aluminium supply shortages caused by earlier production cuts and geopolitical disruptions, leading to a market correction after recent price gains.
