This leaves the immediate outlook unclear for the light metal contract. Currently, MCX aluminium is poised at INR138 per kg. A breakout on either side of INR137 or INR140 will determine the direction of the next move. If the MCX aluminium declines below INR137 per kg, it can fall to INR135.5 initially, observed market analysts.
