EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The US dollar index extended its decline on Friday, after briefly hitting a high of 99.109 on Thursday. The European Central Bank on Thursday cut its deposit interest rate by 10 basis points to a record low of minus 0.5%. LME base metals rose on Friday and aluminium advanced 1.1%. The SHFE closed from Thursday night for the Mid-Autumn Festival Holiday.

LME aluminium traded lower over the last two days of the week. Three-month LME aluminium came off from highs as shorts added their positions. However, as the US dollar weakened, three-month LME aluminium rallied on Friday, gaining 1.09% to end at US$1,813 per tonne. It is expected to trade between US$1,780-1,830 per tonne today.

SME and SHFE Aluminium Price Trend

China market has reopened today after the festive holiday. SHFE aluminium is likely to move between RMB 14,300-14,500 per tonne. SMM data showed that social inventories of primary aluminium in China have fallen for five weeks. Improving consumption in a high season in September-October and expectations of greater supply pressure in November widened the backwardation on SHFE aluminium.
