OPINIONS
The aluminium market outside China is set to record its first deficit in nine years in
2015 following production cuts and an Indonesian ore export ban, a turning point that
could be the start of a prolonged shortfall as demand recovers.
After years of chronic oversupply, the market is beginning to tighten as producers cut
production to battle rising costs, Indonesia bans bauxite ore exports and demand for
aluminium rises, particularly from U.S. auto makers. (Reuters)
We buy a product produced from aluminium scrap. The risk is that the demand from
scrap exceeds supply given there are new users entering the market. (PL

OPINIONS
With the continued political strife in the Ivory Coast, expect an increase in cocoa
price next year. (PL commodity buyer)
The risks to cocoa prices could be exacerbated if the Ebola epidemic spreads to
cocoa producers in West Africa. (World Bank)
As a result of increased futures prices and major companies partnering with farmers
to educate them on husbandry, farming techniques are bound to increase in
yields/production. As such, we expect cocoa to remain steady to slight uptick in
supply for the future. (PL commodity buyer)
