- Earnings release
In October, the CEO said he expected a big rebound in aluminum demand this year. At the time he said the global economy "will come roaring back once this uncertainty is behind us." I wouldn't say 1.4-2.4% will cut it. At some point global growth will have to pickup or there will be more plant closures and factory layoffs.
