EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The US dollar decreased sharply in afternoon trade on Friday, surrendering early gains after an employment report for the month of April that topped economists’ expectations.

LME base metals ended mostly higher but aluminium lost over 1%. SHFE metals closed mixed on Tuesday April 30, the last trading day before the Labour Day holiday and aluminium slid 0.35%. SHFE aluminium is expected to trade higher today. LME aluminium fell below all moving averages to a low of US$1,796 per tonne, from a high of US$1,829 per tonne last Friday. Expanding aluminium inventories across LME warehouses depressed prices. It is expected to trade at US$1,700-1,800 per tonne after trades resume on Tuesday. Today, there will be no trading due to Early May Bank Holiday.
