Aluminum on the London Metal Exchange (LME) performed strongly on Wednesday, as the market expects that if China imposes new tax regulations on the industry, its output and exports will decline. Bache Financial mining analyst MacMillan said that the Chinese government may impose tax on aluminum exports, and the news of canceling the 8% aluminum export tax rebate on January 1 next year will encourage buying. However, aluminum still failed to break the trading range of 1,780-1,733 US dollars per ton, because there was no follow-up buying. Three-month aluminum closed up 20 US dollars, and closed at 1,770 in the evening market. The Chinese government's newer measures also prevent refineries from using outdated technology. MacMillan said, "People are more aware that China is very serious about restraining the industry from overheating and growing, but I think some people have interpreted this too." "The simple fact is that there is no shortage of production capacity, stopping old smelters to build new ones. The smelter has created opportunities and the industry will be even stronger and more adaptable.†Copper futures fluctuate in the near-term range, and the market is expected to remain cautious after the fund’s heavy sell-off two weeks ago. MacMillan said, "The market conditions are still somewhat flat. Copper has been fluctuating around with sparse trading. According to the current dollar trend, there should be more consumer buying, but consumer buying is particularly low." Three-month copper is more end It closed higher by US$8 to 2,800 per ton, and the intraday trading range was 2,814.5-2,760. After the crash earlier this month, most of the base metals have been trapped within narrow trading ranges. Copper basic fabrics will be subject to market attention again, as their inventories continue to decline, and the miners’ response may take time to influence supply and demand. The three-month nickel rebounded from a low of less than $13,000 in the previous session to close at 13,340 and closed at 13,000 on Tuesday. Three-month tin rose 150 US dollars per ton, 9,025 US dollars; three-month lead rose 21 US dollars, reported 873; three-month zinc fell against the market fell 4 US dollars to close at 1,041 US dollars per ton.
