The benchmark aluminium price on Shanghai Metal Exchange has risen from US$2,257 per tonne on January 24 to US$2,302 per tonne on January 25.

On Shanghai Futures Exchange, open interest on aluminium contracts went down yesterday to 759,552 lots- the lowest recorded since August 2017, as positions for longs got closed amid a risk-avoiding scenario.

SMM is unable to give any clear direction for the market and investors too seem to be reluctant to active purchasing. However, SHFE aluminium is expected to trade at RMB 14,600-14,800 per tonne on Thursday, January 25.

In the spot aluminium market, discounts are expected to move at RMB 160-120 per tonne today.
