Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The announced 10% uplift in U.S. primary aluminum production, plus a $50 million capex and support from Section 232 policies, may improve Century's utilization, pricing power, and cash flows in the near term. Market perception could re-rate CENX higher on improved domestic supply dynamics, though execution risk and demand timing remain key.
