Representative image Alcoa Corporation, the largest aluminium producer in the US, triggered concerns after failing to specify demand growth for the year and citing near-term uncertainties while reporting its second-quarter earnings. This may signal concerns for Indian aluminium manufacturers whose financials are sensitive to base metal prices. Alcoa said the 2022 market is expected to be in deficit and demand for aluminium is likely to be positive year on year. The company did not mention a growth rate for demand, which the street had expected because it typically announces it during the quarterly results.

The volatility has harmed companies that need energy market stability for their operations, which includes oil-and-gas companies, but also manufacturing and food-and-beverage industries. Brent crude futures are swinging sharply on a daily basis. Between Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 through Aug. 15, the daily range between Brent’s session highs and lows averaged $5.64.
