On June 5, Century Aluminum fell 5.16% in regular trading, trading at $61.96/share, with trading volume of $26.40 million.

On the news front, a strengthening US dollar has raised the holding cost of industrial metals priced in the currency, putting downward pressure on LME aluminum prices. Delayed interest rate cut expectations further compounded selling pressure across the aluminum sector, triggering broad-based declines among aluminum producers.
