Starting from Bauxite Ore (Primary Aluminum Feedstock), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Bauxite Ore (Primary Aluminum Feedstock) →supply upAluminum and aluminum products
Bauxite ore is a critical feedstock for aluminum, so added Indonesian bauxite supply should raise downstream aluminum availability.
93% confidenceBauxite Ore (Primary Aluminum Feedstock) →supply upThe project is in Indonesia, so final permits can increase Indonesia's bauxite supply contribution from this node's current 4% country share.
85% confidenceBauxite Ore (Primary Aluminum Feedstock) →Stands to benefitUnited Company Rusal
Permit finalization advances Rusal's Kalimantan bauxite-to-alumina project, making its planned raw-material supply buildout more likely.
Hop 2
Aluminum and aluminum products →supply upBauxite Ore (Primary Aluminum Feedstock)
Finalizing the Kalimantan permits would directly expand future bauxite ore availability, easing the critical feedstock constraint for aluminum and aluminum products.
96% confidenceAluminum and aluminum products →supply upAlumina (Aluminum Oxide, Al₂O₃)
The added bauxite supply should also feed Bayer refining, modestly increasing alumina availability for downstream aluminum producers.
79% confidenceAlumina (Aluminum Oxide, Al₂O₃) →supply upHop 3
China Hongqiao Group →supply upBauxite Ore (Primary Aluminum Feedstock)
A finalized Indonesian bauxite project should add future bauxite supply, easing this upstream input market for China Hongqiao Group.
60% confidenceChalco (Aluminum Corporation of China) →supply upAlumina (Aluminum Oxide, Al₂O₃)
Indonesia's new bauxite supply would ease upstream feedstock constraints and raise alumina availability, but Chalco's alumina input edge is only moderately strong given the 12% share, high substitutability, and short replacement lead time.
