MARKET TALK: LME Aluminum Poor Fundamentals Cap Moves

LME aluminum's poor fundamentals leave the metal to take direction from copper, gold and oil prices movements, says a trader. "Aluminum has the poorest fundamentals among the LME, so we're really at the mercy of what is happening in the wider commodity market," he says. LME aluminum trades at $2,837.50/ton, up $7.50 on the Thursday PM kerb.
