Aluminum

What is aluminum?

Aluminum is a common metal with a wide range of industrial applications. It was discovered in 1825 by Hans Christian Oersted. Aluminum is utilised in almost every industrial application. Its conductivity, light weight, malleability and strength make it indispensable in construction, semiconductor manufacturing and vehicle production. As it is easily recycled it is also used as a low-cost packaging option for consumer goods, particularly the beverage industry.

Industrial demand plays a significant role in speculation by traders and increasing demand from developing countries has played a key role in the upward aluminum price trend of the last decade. As the metal is rarely encountered as a free element in the natural world, refining operations are very energy intensive. In a typical operation over a quarter of overall production costs are energy related. The high energy demands of processing lead to a strong degree of correlation between the aluminum price and the global supply of oil. Traders should expect an increase or decrease in the value of aluminum to correspond to any change in the oil supply.

The majority of aluminum is produced in China, Russia and Canada with significant deposits remaining in Australia, Guinea, Brazil, and Indonesia. China, the USA and Europe are the largest consumers and recyclers by volume in the world.

Performance of aluminum

The aluminium spot has risen steadily since the market crash of March 2020 when it dropped to its lowest point since 2009, hitting $1,465.65 on 6 March. As of late May 2021, the aluminum price has traded within the 52-week range of $1,489.75 - $2,553.75.

The aluminum price chart indicates the high level of volatility that can be common when trading the metal. This volatility attracts traders looking for increased opportunities. The majority of trading in the metal is done through the futures market, with an average of over 200,000 contracts traded daily on the London Metal Exchange.

How to invest in aluminum

Those looking to invest in aluminum can trade futures or options on the London Metal Exchange or the New York Mercantile Exchange. You can also buy ETFS or stocks in mining or smelting operations which are involved in the industry.

Traders looking to invest in aluminum using the Dzengi.com tokenised platform are able to profit from upward or downward movements in the commodity without having to invest directly. Tokenised assets are crypto derivatives whose value is linked to the value of a particular asset, in this case the aluminum price.

The token is registered using distributed ledger technology (DLT), the same way cryptocurrency is recorded. This technology allows trading using crypto without the need to convert back and forth with fiat currency, saving exchange fees. The use of this technology allows tokenised asset trading to be efficient, inexpensive and secure.

Trading tokenised assets based on the aluminum price lets you take a long or short position depending on whether you feel the price today is over or under-valued based on the price chart. If you think the aluminum price will decrease you can take a short position and if you think it will increase you can take a long position.
