Thailand Flood Situation – October 2026 & Market Recovery Outlook After the Waters Recede SO OK TRADING | October 10, 2026 Thailand is currently facing a major flood disaster affecting more than 3 million people nationwide. Although water levels in many areas have begun to recede, the economic impact and industrial damage remain significant. Post-flood recovery has therefore become a crucial mission requiring collaboration among government, private sector, and local communities. From a business perspective, SO OK TRADING analyzes that the “post-flood period” marks a turning point for Thailand’s market. Demand is shifting from survival essentials to recovery, repair, and replacement products. This transition will drive economic momentum in the short to medium term, while directly benefiting raw material and machinery industries.

Global Aluminium Market Q4/2026 — Japan Premium (MJP) Under Supply Pressure SO OK TRADING | 6 OCT 2026 As the fourth quarter of 2026 begins, the global aluminium market is entering a decisive turning point. The Japan Premium (Main Japan Premium – MJP) for Q4 has yet to reach a final settlement, reflecting cautious negotiations between buyers and sellers. Although structural demand from electric vehicles (EVs) and clean energy remains strong, the market is under pressure from tight supply in the Middle East and sluggish demand across Asia. As a result, the Japan Premium is expected to settle below $280 per ton, following Rio Tinto’s latest offer cut from $310 to $280 per ton (CIF Japan). Meanwhile, China has accelerated production and boosted exports by more than 17% year-on-year to offset supply gaps caused by Middle Eastern disruptions. This has created a fragile balance in the global market — prices remain elevated compared to 2025, but buyers are increasingly cautious. This analysis from SO OK TRADING explores every dimension of the aluminium market in Q4/2026: the state of MJP negotiations, the Middle East supply crisis, China’s counterbalance, LME price trends, and the industrial impact across Asia. ✨ FAST.
