LME aluminium reversed its temporary downtrend and edged higher to cross the US$2,000 per tonne mark. The light metal which retraced its September 18 lows of US$2,067 per tonne on Monday, October 2, increased to US$2,114 per tonne on Tuesday, October 3. A study of the recent price trend suggests that LME aluminium will continue to trade higher in the range of US$2,110-2,130 per tonne in the short term.

The rise in the light metal contract price can be explained in the light of steady demand, low inventory level, and a falling crude oil. December U.S. Dollar Index futures though trading higher shortly before the regular session opening the market seems to have given up most of its earlier gains, suggesting the rally has run out of buyers, observed analyst James Hyerczyk, FX Empire (partner Nasdaq).
