US Fed rate hike expectations cool, aluminum price technical rebound momentum sufficient [SMM Aluminum Morning Meeting Summary]

On the macro front, market expectations for further near-term rate hikes by the US Fed have cooled somewhat, and the valuation pressure on nonferrous metals from the US dollar and interest rates has eased at the margin, which is conducive to a recovery in risk asset sentiment.
