EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The US dollar recovered earlier losses afternoon as Brexit negotiations were once again thrown into disarray. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of other currencies, rose from a nearly three-month low, ending 0.13% higher at 97.33. LME base metals closed mixed while SHFE complex mostly dropped. LME aluminium slipped 0.69% and SHFE aluminium fell 0.4%.

After a temporary gain on weak dollar over the day, LME aluminium went back to its downward curve overnight. Three-month LME aluminium relinquished earlier gains and came off from a high of US$1,741 per tonne to below all moving averages, closing at US1,724 per tonne. LME aluminium is likely to trade at US$1,710-1,750 per tonne today.

Foil

The most-traded SHFE December contract gave up most of the gains during the previous three sessions as loaded-up shorts weighed the contract below all moving averages right after it opened at RMB 13,880 per tonne yesterday. It closed the trading day 0.72% lower at RMB 13,760 per tonne. Trends in the December contract also weakened, as it fell below the five- and 10- day moving averages and failed to regain losses during the previous session, ending at RMB 13,770 per tonne. It is expected to trade at RMB 13,700-13,820 per tonne.

While weak fundamentals are set to keep aluminium prices under pressure in the fourth quarter, the pullback indicated wavering confidence in the market.
