The U.S. Senate on Wednesday rejected legislation to keep sanctions on companies linked to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, including aluminium firm Rusal. In December, the U.S. Treasury said it would lift sanctions on Rusal, the world’s largest aluminium producer outside China.
China’s’s aluminium exports in 2018 rose 20.9 percent from a year earlier to a record high, according to customs data, as sanctions by the United States on Russian producer Rusal spurred demand for Chinese metal.
The world’s top aluminium producer exported 5.8 million tonnes of unwrought aluminium and aluminium products last year, the General Administration of Customs said, despite a 10 percent tariff on aluminium imports into the United States imposed in March.
Shortages caused by the U.S. sanctions on Russia’s United Company Rusal, announced in April, led to a spike in international aluminium prices, allowing Chinese suppliers to cash in and fill the void.
