Are you tired of always seeing the prices in US dollars? Would you like to be able to use your local currency to keep up to date with aluminum prices? IF your answer is yes, you should see this article.
Aluminum is a white, shiny metal with high reflectivity of light and heat. It has low weight, excellent corrosion resistance and high levels of conductivity, both thermal and electrical. With regard to abundance, it is the third element with the greatest presence in the earth’s crust and, on top of that, it is a material that is very easy to recycle, while at the same time it has reduced costs compared to others.
Aluminum is normally used industrially with high demand, second only to iron/steel. To give you an idea, it has endless uses such as the manufacture of bicycle frames and car bodies, pharmaceutical packaging, electrical cables, aircraft wings, household appliances, aluminum foil, kitchen utensils, among others.
Because it has so many uses (in fact, several more need to be named), it is very common for the industries of each country to require many tons of this material every year. Canada, given its gigantic surface, is no exception. However, for this we need to see the prices in Canadian dollars, in order to familiarize ourselves much better with the prices.
For this, we recommend using Metals-API:
