Three-month LME aluminium slipped to its lowest since November 26 at US$1,743.5/t on Thursday, before it ended down 0.54% at US$1,749/t. The unwinding of long positions primarily accounted for the loss in LME aluminium.

SHFE Aluminium Price Trend

Benchmark aluminium price for SHFE (Shanghai Future Exchange) dropped to US$ 1989 per tonne today December 6, 2019.  

 A smaller weekly decline in social inventories of primary aluminium grew concerns about weaker demand and prompted investors to cover their long position, which sent the most-liquid SHFE contract to an intraday low of RMB 13,910 per tonne. However, the decline was capped as bearish position also departed at the RMB 13,920 per tonne level, ending the contract at RMB 13,930 per tonne, down 0.14% on the day. The SHFE 2001 contract lost 0.36% to RMB13,890 per tonne overnight, as longs covered their positions. It is expected to waver between RMB 13,860-13,900 per tonne today. Spot premiums are seen at RMB 40-60 per tonne over the SHFE 1912 contract.
