Norsk Hydro ASA, a Norwegian aluminum and renewable energy company, has suspended its production of Alunorte alumina refinery in Pará, a state in northern Brazil for several days in October, so the output in the fourth quarter was expected to drop by 20,000-30,000 tons, a quarter-on-quarter decrease of 4%.

It wasn’t known when Alunorte will resume its operations, and aluminum prices were expected to keep a high level by the end of this year.
