Outlook For Alcoa's Primary Aluminum Business

Sep. 4, 2015 1:53 PM ET | About: Alcoa, Inc. (AA)

Disclosure: I/we have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)

Summary

Aluminum production has been holding up despite a sluggish price environment.

Due to a slowing economy, China's domestic aluminum demand has been outstripped by supply which is partly the cause of a substantial quantity of aluminum being exported.

Surplus output since 2013 may hinder a recovery in prices in the foreseeable future.

Alcoa's (NYSE:AA) share price has tumbled over 40% from a year ago.
