Aluminium yesterday traded with the negative node and settled -0.39% down at 115.1 but overall since last 2-3 session market activity was dull and yesterday as there was no significant economic data was released market traded in the tight range. The Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernake attended and addressed at House of Representative hearing and he stated that the US will continue to maintain loose monetary policy by virtue of high unemployment rate and low inflationary pressure. The US dollar was weighed to open at 77.99, and closed at 77.66, down by 0.43%.
