Contracte futures pe trei luni pe aluminiu la London Metal Exchange (LME) plimbat de 0.91% la 2.384 USD/tonă în noiembrie 29 ca din 11:09 ora Taipei, iar cea mai mare valoare intraday a atins 2.388 USD/tonă. The hike in aluminum prices was due to tight supply caused by low-level inventory.

The global aluminum inventories have fallen, including the stock in the LME-registered warehouses and the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE)-monitored warehouses, the latter of which hit a new low since February 2017.

In order to reduce pollution in the winter, the main aluminum producer, China, is cutting production in northern mills, and the speed of production resumption at factories that were forced to stop production due to power issues was slower than expected, both of which have led to a drop in inventories.
