EDITED BY : DEBANJALI SENGUPTA 2MINS READ

The US dollar index touched a new 22-month low on Friday, July 24, while the safe-haven yen rose to its highest in more than four-months, as investors reacted to simmering US-China tensions, a continued rise in coronavirus cases as well as hopes for another US stimulus package.

Three-month LME aluminium fluctuated to close 0.61 per cent lower at US$ 1,697 per tonne on Friday, posting a weekly gain of 2.04 per cent. It is likely to continue to move at US$ 1,680-1,720 per tonne today.
