MARKET TALK: LME Aluminum Resilient, Bucks Selloff Trend

LME aluminum continues to buck the trend and is resilient in the face of large-scale liquidation in copper and zinc, says a trader. This is "confusing," he notes, because usually "any large scale macro or index type hedge fund trade" would normally move markets in tandem. LME aluminum trades at $2,723/ton, up 2% from Friday and more or less unchanged overnight.
