On the macro front, the simplified version of the US debt ceiling agreement was initially formed. In addition, the US GDP and employment data in the first quarter showed that the US economy was relatively resilient, thus macro sentiment improved.
Low aluminium ingot inventory and little hope of smelters in Yunnan resuming production soon will support aluminium prices. However, poor consumption in the off-season will keep aluminium prices in check.
