EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

The US dollar continued to rise on Thursday as investors expressed confidence that the novel coronavirus outbreak will be contained soon.

Three-month LME aluminium advanced to a two-week high before it finished the trading day 1.15 per cent higher at US$ 1,755 per tonne. Falling inventories across LME-listed warehouses supported the prices. Today, LME aluminium is seen hovering at US$ 1,720-1,760 per tonne, with the most-liquid SHFE contract at RMB 13,600-13,800 per tonne.

SHFE Aluminium Price Trend

The SHFE 2003 contract fell for the second straight day on Thursday, losing 0.44% on the day to end at RMB 13,705 per tonne. Two days of losses have taken the contract below all near-term moving averages, as delayed resumption of downstream aluminium processors weighed on investor sentiment and hampered upward momentum in prices.
