LME aluminium continued upward trend on Thursday; growing aluminium stock to keep prices in check

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The US dollar continued to strengthen on Thursday against a basket of other currencies on rekindling of hope for a US-China trade deal. However, mixed signals on the progress of negotiations limited the greenback’s gains. LME and SHFE base metals closed mixed on Thursday. LME aluminium edged down 0.03% and SHFE aluminium gained 0.2%.

Three-month LME aluminium fluctuated to end a tad weaker at US$1,743.5 per tonne on Thursday. Aluminium stocks across LME warehouses continued to grow, standing at 1.17 million tonne as of November 21, which will keep LME aluminium prices in check. The contract is expected to move sideways between US$1,735-1,745 per tonne today.

SHFE Aluminium Price Trend

Benchmark aluminium price for SHFE (Shanghai Future Exchange) increased to US$ 2004 per tonne today November 22, 2019.

Investors cut their bearish position as a continued decline in social inventories of primary aluminium pointed to healthy downstream demand, lifting the most-active SHFE 2001 contract to a high of RMB 13,870 per tonne, before it ending up 0.8% at RMB 13,865 per tonne. The SHFE 2001 contract gained 0.18% to RMB 13,860 per tonne overnight, as a sharp decline in domestic social inventories of primary aluminium this week kept bears cautious. SHFE aluminium is expected to move between RMB 13,800-13,870 per tonne today. Spot premiums are seen at RMB 80-120 per tonne over the SHFE 1912 contract.
