SME and SHFE Aluminium Price Trend

The benchmark aluminium price on Shanghai Metal Exchange stood at US$ 2106 per tonne yesterday.

The most active SHFE June contract traded in a tight range before it edged down to RMB 14,160 per tonne yesterday. It finished the trading day marginally higher at RMB 14,175 per tonne, with open interest shrinking 23,724 lots to 288,332 lots as pre-holiday risk aversion drove investors to cover positions. Guizhou Huaren New Materials’ primary aluminium project of 500,000 tpy capacity reached full operation as of Monday April 29, and this met market expectations. The ratio of SHFE 1906 contract to the three-month LME aluminium has climbed to 7.75, which is set to weigh on SHFE aluminium prices.
