LME aluminium after diving overnight on Monday moved above the 10 and 20-day moving averages to close at US$1,766.50/mt. The price fall was in tandem with other base metal futures traded on the exchange. The US long-term government treasury rate increased over market expectations of a possible Fed rate hike later this year. As a result, dollar index rose forcing capital out of the emerging markets. The strengthening dollar, in turn, put downward pressure on the base metal prices thereby reining in their bull run.

The People’s Bank of China raised capital cost; monetary policy in and outside China is expected to tighten. SMM thinks, investors should be wary of risks after overbought of base metals.
