LME aluminium price almost stands flat at US$1580.5/t; SHFE declines to US$1598/t

EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

The US dollar returned towards a three-year peak against a basket of currencies on Friday, after a pull-back earlier in the day. The greenback enjoyed its strongest week since the financial crisis last week as a global scramble for funding sent other currencies reeling.

Three-month LME aluminium reversed earlier gains to touch a new low in three years and a half at US$ 1,575 per tonne, shortly before it ended the day sharply lower at US$ 1,577 per tonne. It is likely to move between US$ 1,540 per tonne and US$ 1,620 per tonne today.
