29 OCTOBER 2018 AL CIRCLE

LME aluminium closed last week on this year's lowest, expected to recover slightly today; SHFE recovered losses

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The US dollar followed Wall Street lower on Friday, falling from highs earlier in the day after third-quarter GDP data performed stronger than expected. Both LME and SHFE base metals ended in mixed performance on Friday night. Aluminium rose by 0.8%.

LME aluminium closed the day’s trading at US$ 1961 per tonne on Friday. It then recovered some losses overnight but potential resumption of Hydro’s alumina refinery and strengthened US dollar depressed LME aluminium to a low of US$1,975 per tonne during night trading.  It then rebounded to settle at US$2,006 per tonne. The contract is likely to trade at US$1,970-2,010 per tonne today.

The benchmark aluminium price on Shanghai Metal Exchange increased to US$ 2032 per tonne today from US$ 2026per tonne on October 25.

Macroeconomic pessimism and a strong US dollar index weighed on the SHFE 1812 contract on Friday last week, which extended its decline in the afternoon to a low of RMB 14,125 per tonne.
