Glencore bought aluminium from Rusal worth $1.06bn in 2023

Commodities group Glencore bought aluminium from Russian producer Rusal worth $1.06-billion in 2023 as part of their long-term contract, the Russian producer said in an annual report on Friday. Although Rusal, the world's largest producer outside China accounting for 5.5% of global output, itself is not a target of Western sanctions, some Western clients have been shunning new deals for Russia-made metals since Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022.
