LME aluminium traded robust to end at US$1,903.5 per tonne overnight; SHFE continued upward trend

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The US dollar dipped to the lowest since March 4, at 96.37, after new inflation data increased expectations that US interest rates will not be raised anytime soon. Base metals ended mixed and LME aluminium jumped 1.38%. SHFE aluminium rose 0.7%.

LME aluminium closed the day's trading higher than the day before at US$1873 per tonne. The contract then jumped above all moving averages and broke pressure from US$1,900 per tonne, after Norway’s Norsk Hydro said that production at its Neuss plant in Germany would likely to fall due to an accident. A lower US dollar also pulled the prices. LME aluminium ended at US$1,903.5 per tonne. It is likely to trade robustly at US$1,850-1,930 per tonne today.
