Benchmark aluminum on the London Metal Exchange (LME) was up 2.1% at $3,259 a metric ton by 1754 GMT after hitting a one-month high of $3,315.
Norsk Hydro said Qatalum’s controlled shutdown was initiated due to the shortage of natural gas in Qatar and would be completed by the end of March. Qatalum has a production capacity of 636,000 tons of primary aluminum. Norsk Hydro issued a force majeure notice to its Qatalum customers.
