SME and SHFE Aluminium Price Trend

The most traded SHFE 1911 contract slightly weakened in seesaw trade, as traders weighed consumption pick-up against supply recovery. It lost 0.35% on the day to end at RMB 14,355 per tonne yesterday. Loaded-up longs buoyed the most-active SHFE November contract to highs around 14,410 per tonne, before it closed at RMB 14,390 per tonne overnight, up 0.24% on the day. The K-indicator is expected to continue to move along the five-day moving average, and keep the contract between RMB 13,350-14,450 per tonne today. 

An increasingly greater number of primary aluminium smelters have decided to resume their capacity after SHFE aluminium prices recovered from a low season. This indicates a bearish market outlook for Q4 2019. For SHFE aluminium to move further higher, it needs to see encouraging consumption data.
