LME aluminium likely to slide into US$2,046-2,055/t range

EDITED BY : DIPANWITA GUPTA 2MINS READ

The upward momentum in LME aluminium prices is likely to slow down this week. The bullish sentiment that prevailed last week with investors flooding in the market is settling down. LME aluminium which had closed at US$2,104 per tonne last Friday, August 18, came down to US$2,084 per tonne on Monday, August 21. Shanghai Metals Market predicts that LME aluminium will stage technical corrections and hover at moderate highs this week.

Reuters’ technical analysis suggests that LME aluminium may drop into the range of US$2,046-2,055 per tonne after facing correction. There is a resistance at US$2,089; a break above this mark could lead the light metal to a gain around US$2,103 per tonne.
