As longs added their positions, the most traded SHFE September contract climbed to a six-day high of RMB 13,975 per tonne, near the 60-day moving average before a buildup of short positions forced it to give up some gains to close 0.54% higher at RMB13,935 per tonne. As longs trimmed their positions, the most active SHFE September contract erased earlier gains to close 0.32% lower at RMB 13,880 per tonne on Friday night. It is expected to trade between RMB 13,800-13,950 per tonne today, with spot prices in a discount of RMB 30 per tonne to a premium of RMB10 per tonne.

Macroeconomic developments dictated recent market moves, as fundamentals remained unchanged. Lower costs and weaker consumption will take a toll, while an anticipated recovery at the end of the third quarter offers support. SHFE aluminium is expected to fluctuate to see a higher trading level this week.
