iconMar 10, 2010 00:00

SHANGHAI, Mar. 10 (SMM) -- Yesterday, three-month LME aluminum prices closed at USD 2,253/mt, up USD 21/mt. LME aluminum inventories declined by 5,925 mt to 4.5 million mt, setting a record low since July 2009. Cancelled warrants increased from 256,550 mt on February 8th to 294,075 mt on March 8th. Aluminum prices continued to undergo corrections after significant increases last week, and the falling inventories indicate market demand has improved, which will continue to support aluminum market. The US dollar weakened due to the increasing risk preference by investors, which in turn helped support base metals prices. Aluminum prices are expected to remain high in the near term.
