Alcoa Inc., the world's third-largest aluminum company, said Monday it lost $1.19 billion during its fourth quarter as prices and demand for the metal plunged in a troubled global market. Alcoa's loss highlighted the impact of the weakening world economy on key aluminum markets, such as the construction and auto industries. Prices of the metal, used in everything from cars and aircraft to window frames and beer cans, have fallen steeply along with other commodities since mid-2008.
