[Aluminum Prices Near Four-Week Low, Impacted by Weakened Fed Rate Cut Expectations] On November 18, aluminum and copper prices fell as investors awaited delayed U.S. economic data and expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut next month gradually weakened. Ahead of key events this week, including the U.S. September non-farm payroll report, the industrial metals market saw a decline in risk appetite. Several Federal Reserve officials warned against further rate cuts at this time, dampening the outlook for commodity demand. Aluminum prices had reached a three-year high in early November, driven by strong demand from China and global supply pressures, but concerns over the U.S. economy and monetary policy have caused aluminum prices to retreat alongside other metal prices.
