Aluminium on MCX settled down 0.81% at 146.60 tracking weakness from LME Aluminium prices which fell 0.3 percent to $2,001 a tonne as on concerns of slowing demand in China and as geopolitical tensions escalated over the killing of a prominent Saudi journalist.
While prices are likely to stay in range as support could be seen after the report that Global primary aluminum output fell to 5.301 million tonnes in September from a revised 5.485 million tonnes in August, data from the International Aluminium Institute showed on Monday.
Also China’s alumina exports in September registered a more than fivefold increase from August to 165,839 tonnes, customs data showed on Tuesday. Producers of the main ingredient of aluminium have been shipping more cargoes overseas this year to cash in on favourable arbitrage between domestic and international prices amid tighter global supplies.
Investors were unconvinced by pledges from Chinese officials of an expansion of targeted measures to ease company financing problems after China’s third-quarter growth slowed to its weakest since the global financial crisis.
