Metals fell the most among commodities, with nickel, tin and aluminium dropping to multi-month lows as China accused the United States of bullying and warned it would hit back after the Trump administration raised the stakes in their trade dispute, threatening 10 percent tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods.
As shorts significantly added their positions, the SHFE contract slumped to a low of 13,865 yuan/mt before it recovered some losses.Aluminium was less vulnerable than other nonferrous metals as supplies of bauxite were tight and as alumina prices rebounded on production cuts. Longs entered the market at low prices.
The nonferrous complex is likely to recover some losses tonight if there are no significant economic and political developments. Last night the US dollar index gained 0.66% to close at 94.72 as its inflation data came in stronger than expected.
Market anxiety continued to ramp up after the Trump administration started the process of imposing tariffs on a further $200 billion of imports from China.
