Aluminum P1020: Global Supply Crisis, New Opportunities for Thailand in the EV and Clean Energy Era ⚡ The year 2026 marks a major turning point for the global metals industry. “Aluminum P1020” (99.7% purity) has become a strategic metal that every nation needs — from the Middle East conflict that wiped out more than 900,000 tons of supply, to Asian premiums soaring to their highest level in 11 years. Thailand, which relies almost entirely on imported primary aluminum, now faces both challenges and opportunities at the same time: Premiums and LME prices have surged past $3,700+/ton Foundries and rolling mills are struggling with delivery delays, as lead times stretch from 30–45 days to 60–90 days Yet demand in EVs, clean energy, premium construction, and eco‑friendly packaging continues to grow steadily This is a critical turning point for Thai businesses — shifting from dependence on primary aluminum to adopting secondary ingot (recycled aluminum), while sourcing new supply from Indonesia and Australia’s clean‑energy smelters.

Oil War – March 7, 2026: When the USA & Israel Bombed Iran’s Oil Depots, the World Entered a Massive Oil Shock On March 7, 2026, the world shook overnight. The USA and Israel launched a strike on Iran’s oil depots in Tehran, igniting fires and triggering immediate retaliation. Within 24 hours, Iran officially closed the Strait of Hormuz — the strategic passage for more than 20% of global oil. The result: the largest Oil Shock since the Russia–Ukraine war. Oil Prices: Brent crude jumped from $65–70 to over $92 per barrel, with forecasts pointing to $120–150 if the blockade continues. Gold Prices: From $4,800/oz before the war, gold surged to $5,300–5,400/oz, setting a new floor at $5,000 and potentially climbing beyond $6,000. Currencies: USD strengthened as a safe haven, while JPY, CNY, and THB weakened under soaring energy costs. Stock Markets: Asia-Pacific indices tumbled as investors fled to gold and other safe assets. This is not just a Middle East conflict — it’s a shockwave hitting costs, investments, and wallets worldwide. SO OK TRADING monitors these shifts in real time, standing as your trusted partner in uncertain times.
