Meanwhile, a slowdown in Aluminum is expected as the day progresses in Indian futures markets. Aluminum for May expiry is trading at INR 116.6 per kilogram sideways in mid morning trades.

The markets are expected to find supports at INR 115.6 and INR 115 per kilogram. The prices are also near to their 200 day moving average of INR 110.8 breaching which the long-term trend will become bearish.
