Aluminium yesterday traded with the negative node and settled -1.31% down at 106.75 as the European debt bailout negotiation bogged down again overnight following a rating cut for Spain and divergence on EFSF expansion.
Later Fed said the US economy continued to grow slowly in September, but with a dim outlook, which led to a selling wave for stocks and commodities at the tail of previous day’s trading. LME aluminum closed USD 29/mt or 1.31% lower at USD 2,181/mt on October 19th. Highest and lowest prices during the day were USD 2,224/mt and USD 2,178.8/mt.
LME aluminum is expected to meet resistance at USD 2,200/mt and likely to move downward today as investors’ optimism towards a final solution for the euro zone debt crisis to come out this weekend gradually faded out.
