What is DAG? In more traditional blockchains, the host provides the food/drinks (i.e resources) for this party. And when the guests arrive, the amount of resources can only accommodate so many people, the portions are small and then everything eventually runs out and the party ends. Think Constellation DAG like a potluck (a party where everyone brings food/drinks). With every added guest (node to the network), the more resources the party has to keep going. This is the nature of Constellation, a distributed system that scales horizontally.  Is Constellation a Blockchain? Not exactly. Although inspired by the principles of decentralization, many standard blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum face scalability issues. This is why the next, generation of decentralized networks such as Hashgraph, IOTA, and Constellation have turned to DAG.  What is a Microservice? “Microservices” is an approach to application development in which a large application is built as a suite of modular services. Each module supports a specific business goal and uses a simple, well-defined interface to communicate with other sets of services. Uber, for example, is not a singular app purse. It is a unified app which means it is a single interface that brings together their driver app, their rider app, and their corporate team app.

LME aluminum prices have surged past $3,600 per tonne, with Goldman Sachs warning they could climb even higher if regional production losses persist, and&nbsp;Kpler&nbsp;analysts <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.kpler.com/blog/strikes-on-alba-and-ega-smelters-enhance-the-possibility-of-4-000-t-aluminium">suggesting</a> further escalation could push them toward $4,000 per tonne.Against this backdrop, two companies have stood out -&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/AA">Alcoa (AA)</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CENX">Century Aluminum (CENX)</a> - with the shares climbing roughly 15% and 27%, respectively, since the war began.While the stocks are tracking eleven consecutive months of gains, AA recently recorded its biggest weekly jump since December 2023.On Thursday, Alcoa posted a 5.2% drop in first-quarter (Q1) revenue, falling below Wall Street’s estimates, according to&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://fiscal.ai">Fiscal.ai</a> data. However, earnings per share of $1.4 was in line with Street estimates, though they fell around 35% from last year.Alcoa expects its 2026 aluminum production and shipments to remain unchanged, with output projected between 2.4–2.6 million metric tons and shipments between 2.6–2.8 million metric tons.For Q2 2026, it anticipates a roughly $15 million sequential hit to earnings in the alumina segment due to weaker bauxite pricing and volumes, and higher energy costs driven mainly by diesel prices amid Middle East tensions.<h2 class="st-heading-2">A Perfect Storm for U.S. Producers</h2>Beyond the broader conflict, CENX and AA have had an additional lift – President Donald Trump’s tariffs on aluminum imports. Trump raised aluminum tariffs to 50% in June 2025 in a bid to curtail cheaper foreign imports and increase domestic investment. Earlier this year, Century Aluminum and Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA)&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://centuryaluminum.com/investors/press-releases/press-release-details/2026/Century-Aluminum-Joins-EGA-Project-to-Build-First-U-S--Smelter-in-Almost-50-Years/default.aspx">formed</a> a joint venture to build a new smelter, a first such plant built in the U.S. in 50 years.The supply shock deepened when Iranian missile and drone strikes hit EGA’s Al Taweelah smelter on March 28, with EGA warning restoration could take up to 12 months. Bahrain's Alba also declared force majeure after shutting down roughly 19% of its capacity due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.Wood Mackenzie <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.woodmac.com/press-releases/me-impact-on-aluminium-market/">estimates</a> the conflict could remove 3 to 3.5 million tonnes of aluminum output in 2026. With the Gulf supply redirected, domestic producers stand to be the beneficiaries.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Analysts Remain Bullish, But Price Target Hinges On Conflict</h2>According to The Fly, JPMorgan increased Alcoa’s price target to $70 from $68, but held a ‘Neutral’ rating, cautioning that the stock’s outperformance is tied directly to Middle East tensions and could reverse if geopolitical risks ease.Morgan Stanley was more bullish, upgrading Alcoa to ‘Overweight’ from ‘Equal Weight’ and raising the price target to $80 from $64. The brokerage cited the upgrade to higher aluminum prices and Alcoa’s high operating leverage.Wells Fargo lifted Century Aluminum’s price target to $77 from $69, and added that the outlook hinges on a projected 2026 supply deficit and elevated electricity costs. BMO Capital and B. Riley have also raised Century Aluminum’s target price.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Retail Traders React?</h2>Retail sentiment on Stocktwits for AA was ‘neutral’ and ‘bearish’ for CENX.One user expects supply disruptions to persist for months, potentially pushing oil and aluminum prices to a higher floor over the long term.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Claytonpicker/message/649784937</stembedurl>Year-to-date, AA shares have gained around 35% while CENX stock has surged nearly 70%For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
