How high can aluminum prices go given the Goldman warning?
Short-term momentum suggests further gains possible, but the Goldman supply rebound warning indicates a ceiling. If supply rises faster than demand, prices may retrace.
What is the main driver behind aluminum's rally?
The main driver is fading expectations for aggressive Fed rate hikes, which weakens the dollar and reduces demand concerns, outweighing the Goldman supply caution for now.
