Aluminium LeaderSpeak 2019

The SHFE August contract extended overnight declines to an intraday low of RMB 13,780 tonne before it recovered some ground to finish the trading day 0.5% lower at RMB 13,830 per tonne on Friday. The SHFE August contract fell for the fourth consecutive day as it ended 0.25% lower at RMB 13,795 per tonne last Friday night, below all moving averages. Despite falling inventories, SHFE aluminium is unlikely to strongly break the RMB 14,000 per tonne level in the short term. A cease-fire in the US-China trade war is expected to rally prices today; with the contract at RMB 13,800-14,000 per tonne and spot offers are likely at a discount of RMB10 per tonne to a premium of RMB 20 per tonne.
