Three-month LME aluminium dipped to the lowest in more than one week to US$1,748/t on Wednesday night

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The US dollar held firm above a one-month low against its rivals after a news report on Wednesday from Bloomberg that said the US and China were edging closer to a trade deal. LME base metals, except for aluminium and nickel, drifted higher on Wednesday. The SHFE aluminium dipped 0.07%.

Three-month LME aluminium erased earlier gains to its lowest in more than one week at US$1,748 per tonne on Wednesday night, before it recovered some ground to close down 0.54% at US$1,758.5 per tonne. The unwinding of long positions primary accounted for the loss in prices, which bucked the uptrend across most nonferrous metals.
