A series of economic data is awaiting release today, which includes crude oil data, a major indicator for the commodity prices. Analysts say, aluminium prices will likely follow a weker trend due to soft fundamentals, but other strong base metals may support the light metal price for the short term with market expectation over inflation and falling Chinese yuan.
