An Aluminum Crisis Is Roiling the Auto Industry - WSJ
➤ The auto industry, particularly Ford, is facing a significant aluminum shortage and soaring costs due to the Iran war, a 50% U.S. tariff, and a major supplier outage. ➤ This shortage has led to reduced truck inventory for dealerships and a $2 billion hit to Ford's adjusted profit last year. ➤ Ford has requested a tariff waiver and is working to restart its supplier's plant, while some in the steel industry see an opportunity to substitute steel for aluminum.
