Report summary
September was very much a month of two halves. The first two weeks of the month were dominated by rising prices, falling LME stocks and supply concerns. However, prices retreated in the second half of the month amid growing fears about global economic growth prospects. Prices turned sharply lower on the back of the Federal Reserve’s 75 point hike in interest rates and a subsequent sharp rally in the US dollar. We expect the price to remain under pressure from the continued flow of negative economic news and amid lacklustre spot interest as demand conditions deteriorate.
