Following a growth the previous day, the London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminium prices on Wednesday, September 17, went down the graph by USD 46 per tonne or 1.68 per cent and USD 45.5 per tonne or 1.66 per cent.
Both the cash bid price and official settlement price closed at USD 2,690 per tonne and USD 2,691 per tonne from USD 2,736 per tonne and USD 2,736.5 per tonne. One of the reasons for the drop can be attributed to lacklustre trade in base metals.
