Low Inventory To Curb Downside Room Of Aluminium Prices

SHANGHAI, May 22 (SMM) - The US macro front is full of uncertainties. Low inventory in China and overseas will underpin short-term aluminium prices. In the medium and long run, expected supply shock and softening consumption, together with weakening cost support, will expose aluminium prices to downside risks. The most-traded SHFE aluminium contract and LME aluminium are likely to move between 17,700-18,700 yuan/mt and $2,000-2,380/mt respectively this week.
