Aluminium On MCX Settled Up 0.11% At 140.6 - Research Icon



Aluminium on MCX settled up 0.11% at 140.6 as a typhoon in China hit the world's top aluminium producer and raised concerns about supply disruptions. Facilities belonging to China Hongqiao Group, the world's top aluminium producer, were damaged by flooding after Typhoon Lekima wreaked havoc in the smelting heartland of Shandong. Chinese aluminium deficit is very small. Expectations of high-season demand in September will accelerate destocking at producers, and this will support prices in the medium term. Demand growth has definitely been downgraded mainly due to the auto industry, adding that the deficit might close and even become a surplus for the rest of the year if consumption remains weak. China's exports of unwrought aluminium and aluminium products stood at 487,000 mt in July, down 6.17% from July 2018 and 4.51% from June, showed data from China Customs released on August 8. This brought exports in the first seven months of the year to 3.47 million mt, with a year-over-year increase of 7.2%. Exports declined from a year ago in July, marking the second month of a year-on-year slide this year, lowered by the relatively high price ratio of SHFE aluminium to its LME counterpart, the recovery of the Chinese yuan from June, and front-loading in May-June. Technically market is under short covering as market has witnessed drop in open interest by -5.04% to settled at 2053 while prices up 0.15 rupees, now Aluminium is getting support at 139.8 and below same could see a test of 139 levels, and resistance is now likely to be seen at 141.3, a move above could see prices testing 142.
