What is USD per tonne?
The standard quoting unit for aluminum across the cataloged price series: IndexMundi's monthly LME ingot series, the Hugging Face daily OHLC feed and Trading Economics' daily quote all express value in US dollars per metric tonne.
In this catalog it appears concretely: - IndexMundi Aluminum Monthly Price — "usd-per-tonne". - Hugging Face - global_aluminum_price_daily dataset — "Daily global aluminum OHLC prices in USD per tonne". - Trading Economics - Aluminum commodity page — "Daily aluminum spot price quote in USD/tonne".

Why does USD per tonne matter when choosing a dataset?
A table is only as good as the column you actually need. If this field is absent, sparsely populated or defined inconsistently across rows, no amount of surrounding richness rescues the analysis, so it deserves its own line in your evaluation checklist.
The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.
You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and IndexMundi Aluminum Monthly Price lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.
