Aluminium is under presser. Shanghai has opened slightly on the weaker note, LME seems to have stabilised early in the morning today but there are more statements coming in from US.

There is a consideration that Rusal perhaps would be exempted completely. There is plenty being conversed on.

Iron ore prices opened slightly on the weaker side as well and markets are also looking at weak opening in lead and zinc.
