Aluminium prices weaken in futures trade on global cues

NEW DELHI, Sept 4:  Aluminium prices edged lower by 0.92 per cent to Rs 123.90 per kg in futures trade today as participants trimmed positions, tracking a weak overseas trend.
Further, subdued demand in the spot markets also put pressure on metal prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, aluminium for delivery in October shed Rs 1.15, or 0.92 per cent, to Rs 123.90 per kg in business turnover of 20 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in September traded lower by Rs 1.10, or 0.89 per cent, to Rs 122.65 per kg in 242 lots.
Marketmen said apart from subdued domestic demand, a weakening global trend on concern that the US Federal Reserve is getting closer to tapering stimulus, weighed on aluminium futures here. (PTI)
