The MCX aluminium prices reached an intra-day peak of INR 126.50 per kg and a low of INR 124.55 per kg the same day.</p> <p>{googleAdsense}</p> <p>Analysts hold a short to medium term bullish outlook for MCX aluminium as oversupply seems to be controlled for the time being due to the recent crackdown by the Chinese government on a range of polluting smelters. However, a break below the support can lead to a loss, as indicated by the technical projections.&nbsp;</p>
