- (Bloomberg) – The Iran war and Gulf disruptions have redrawn US aluminum trade flows, creating an opening for new suppliers. While Canada regained market share -- its share in US unwrought imports rose to 63% in 2Q from 58% in 1Q --Indonesia emerged as a new supplier. Indonesia exported 18,500 tons to the US in March, equal to over 20% of its monthly shipments. The US purchased 6% of Indonesia's aluminum exports in the first five months compared with less than 1% in 2025. With the Adaro-Lygend-backed Kaltara smelter reportedly making its first US-bound shipment of 31,494 tons in June, Indonesia appears poised to play a greater role in supplementing US supply, helping reduce reliance on more volatile Middle East trade.
