Aluminium prices fell sharply, down 2.88% on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, following President Trump's promise for a swift resolution to the Middle East conflict, which alleviated supply concerns. The London Metal Exchange also saw a decline in aluminium prices, dropping 2.11%. Despite this, analysts warn that aluminium remains vulnerable to price increases due to potential supply shocks from ongoing regional tensions. Other metals like copper and nickel experienced slight gains, while lead and zinc remained stable.
