LME aluminium dips marginally after dollar recovers little ground on Feb 1

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

The U.S. dollar index failed to make a reversal after the much uninspiring Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting. After hitting its worst in 30 years, the currency could recover only a little ground on Wednesday, and that got reflected in LME aluminium price trend. The contract dipped marginally by 0.16 per cent to close at US$1,818 per tonne after Wednesday's night trading.

With uncertainty looming over Donald Trump's presidency, it is unlikely that the dollar index will recover soon. This will keep supporting commodity prices at their recent levels. The U.S. gasoline supplies, on the other side, are piling up, and while that might not help drivers much, it could be a negative for the price of oil, says CNBC. Based on the macroeconomic trends, LME aluminium is expected to hover in the range of US$1,815-US$1,825 per tonne in the short term.
