According to the app of China Fortune Finance, Guinea, the largest bauxite producing country in Africa and even the world, plans to announce major reform measures next month to control the export scale of this ore used to produce aluminum, in an attempt to further push up the trading price of this industrial metal. Recently, the international benchmark aluminum price - LME (London Metal Exchange) aluminum price has exceeded $3,600 per metric ton, and on May 14, the LME aluminum spot settlement price reached as high as $3,768 per metric ton. Since the second half of 2025, the LME three-month aluminum futures prices have risen by nearly 50%, with Wall Street financial giant Citigroup calling it the "strongest bullish trend in over 50 years" for aluminum prices.
