SHANGHAI, Jul. 16 (SMM) – Mainstream traded prices of spot aluminum in Shanghai were between RMB 15,580-15,620/mt Monday, with spot discounts over the SHFE current-month aluminum contract price remaining at RMB 50-80/mt, and low-iron aluminum was traded between RMB 15,680-15,700/mt in Shanghai. SHFE aluminum prices rose along with other metals but with limited upward room and gave back some gains later.
