The London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminium prices significantly surged on Wednesday, December 27, as trade resumed after the Christmas break. Three-month aluminium on the London Metal Exchange (LME) climbed 0.8 per cent to $2,345 per tonne in official open-outcry trading after reaching its highest since May 2 at US$2,382 per tonne.
The increase in aluminium prices was attributed to purchases made by Commodity Trade Advisor (CTA) investment funds, which are influenced mainly by computer algorithms, according to a trader. Base metals prices hiked in London on Wednesday, boosted by increases in industrial profit in top metals user China. At the same time, aluminium hit an eight-month high due to technical buying and supply worries.
