Premiums for consumers buying aluminium on the physical market in the United States hit a record 60 cents a lb or $1,323 a metric ton on Thursday after Donald Trump imposed higher tariffs on U.S. imports of the metal.

The tariffs doubled to 50% on Wednesday.

The U.S. Midwest duty-paid premium has gained nearly 190% since Trump was elected in November for his second term as president.
