[SMM Aluminum Flash News] Citi Downgrades Norsk Hydro to Neutral as Aluminum Rally Boosts Outlook

Citi Research downgraded Norsk Hydro to “neutral” from “buy” after the company’s shares rose about 25% since February, driven by stronger aluminum prices. Citi also raised its target price from NKr105 to NKr110. Aluminum prices have climbed around 20% this year, outperforming copper’s 12% gain.
