Indian Aluminium Stocks Decline Amid Global Price Drop Following US-Iran Peace Deal
Shares of major Indian aluminium producers including Hindalco, NALCO, and Vedanta Aluminium declined up to 6% following a sharp drop in global aluminium prices. The price fall was linked to the US-Iran peace deal, which is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, facilitating exports from Middle Eastern producers. Despite short-term price corrections, analysts anticipate aluminium prices to remain supported by supply constraints and strong industrial demand over the medium to long term.
