By Kiran Varma
MUMBAI: Aluminium, one of the most widely used industrial metals in the world, is in a crisis these days. Aluminium inventories are piling up every day that the metal is under tremendous price pressure.

Data from the London Metal Exchange on Monday show that aluminium inventories have risen from 4725 tonnes to 1128100 tonnes in a short span.

LME three month forward contract is at $ 2785 per tonne. Supports for the contract is at 2755 levels. Aluminium prices at MCX in India are near its support levels and further weakness will take prices towards Rs 115 and Rs 112 levels.

Analysts say aluminium prices are expected to come down from the current levels in days to come. Aluminium is a very volatile commodity and also news driven, the expectations for coming days are bearish.
