U.S. primary aluminium output: 60 thousand metric tonnes in July 2026

Fact & assessment

USGS reported 60 thousand metric tonnes of U.S. primary aluminium production for July 2026, compared with 58 thousand metric tonnes in June.

The first-release 14-day assessment window elapsed; source fact remains observed.

Price confidence: not_assessed

Counter-case: No standalone price inference is established.

U.S. output excludes other producing regions; stocks, demand and imports may offset the increase. This is a July period observation collected in October, not a live smelter reading.

Next check: Verify the next accessible USGS monthly aluminium workbook and the corresponding observed production row.

U.S. crude and dried bauxite imports: 576,000 metric tonnes in Q2 2026

Fact & assessment

USGS reported 576,000 metric tonnes of U.S. crude and dried bauxite imports for the second quarter of 2026.

The first-release 14-day assessment window elapsed; source fact remains observed.

Price confidence: not_assessed

Counter-case: No standalone price inference is established.

A national import flow can change with inventory, domestic refinery use, timing, and trade routing. The Q3 workbook candidate returned HTTP 403; Q2 is the verified fallback.

Next check: Verify the next accessible USGS bauxite and alumina quarterly workbook and its period before replacing this Q2 fact.

U.S. alumina imports: 383,000 metric tonnes calcined equivalent in Q2 2026

Fact & assessment

USGS reported 383,000 metric tonnes calcined equivalent of U.S. alumina imports for the second quarter of 2026.

The first-release 14-day assessment window elapsed; source fact remains observed.

Price confidence: not_assessed

Counter-case: No standalone price inference is established.

It is not U.S. or global refinery production. The Q3 workbook candidate returned HTTP 403; Q2 is the verified fallback.

Next check: Verify the next accessible USGS bauxite and alumina quarterly workbook and its unit definition.

U.S. primary aluminium output: 58 thousand metric tonnes in June 2026

Fact & assessment

USGS reported 58 thousand metric tonnes of U.S. primary aluminium production for June 2026.

The first-release 14-day assessment window elapsed; source fact remains observed.

Price confidence: not_assessed

Counter-case: No standalone price inference is established.

It excludes output outside the United States and does not by itself establish inventory availability or LME price direction. A newer July workbook is now separately verified; this June item remains historical.

Next check: Verify the next accessible USGS monthly aluminium workbook and its latest production row.

Source coverage & limitations

U.S. imports and production do not measure global bauxite mining, alumina refining, or LME-deliverable metal supply.
The latest verified bauxite and alumina workbook is 2026 Q2; the latest verified U.S. primary aluminium production row is July 2026. The Q3 bauxite workbook candidate returned HTTP 403 and was not treated as a new period.
Original publication dates are not verified in the retained observation records, so published_at is null.
These U.S. national measurements are not assigned to individual facilities. A separate historical facility layer is provenance-checked but does not establish current operations.
