Aluminium failed to get much support, despite LME on-warrant inventories falling 10,700 tonnes to 737,400 tonnes. LME three-month aluminium finished down 0.2 per cent at $US1,994 a tonne after touching a low of $US1,991.50, the weakest since April.
Last night the US dollar strengthened as the euro and pound slipped on Thursday after the ECB kept interest rates unchanged in their October policy meeting. The interest rate on the main refinancing operation, the marginal lending facility, and the deposit facility sit at zero, 0.25% and 0.40% respectively.
The expectation is that these rates will remain at their present levels at least through the summer of 2019. LME base metals, except for copper, ended in negative territory across the board overnight. Lead dipped 0.05%, nickel lost 0.25%, zinc fell by 0.6% and aluminium slipped 0.7%.

Trading Ideas:
–Aluminium trading range for the day is 143.4-146.6.
–Aluminium dropped as concerns over the impact of a U.S.-China trade row on demand for industrial metals returned to focus.
–Production cuts shrink social inventories of primary aluminium.
–Recent output cuts at some domestic primary aluminium and alumina producers failed to support aluminium prices.
