Aluminium prices fell by 0.29% to Rs 121.95 per kg in futures trade today as speculators trimmed positions amid a weak global trend.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, aluminium for delivery in July shed 35 paise, or 0.29%, to Rs 121.95 per kg in a business turnover of 258 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in August traded lower by 35 paise, or 0.28%, to Rs 122.65 per kg in 30 lots.
Analysts attributed the fall in aluminium futures to a weak global trend ahead of data on China's manufacturing as some investors viewed recent rally to a 16-month high as overdone.
Meanwhile, aluminium for delivery in three months retreated 0.2% to $2,038.25 a metric tonne on the London Metal Exchange.
