Rusal Assures Unaffected Supply Amid US/UK Sanctions; Kremlin Calls Sanctions Double-Edged, Traders Seek Profit

Russian aluminum giant Rusal states that the new US and UK sanctions will not impact its ability to supply due to unaffected global logistic delivery solutions, banking access, and production systems. The Kremlin views the sanctions as a double-edged weapon, noting destabilized market prices. Russian metal accounts for a significant portion of LME aluminum, copper, and nickel stocks. Despite concerns, traders are exploring opportunities to profit from the complex sanctions.
