Aluminum Rises With Copper as US Government Shutdown Nears End

Aluminum advanced with copper and other industrial metals on the prospects for an end to a weeks-long shutdown of the US government.

President Donald Trump on Monday expressed support for the bipartisan deal to end the US shutdown, a key development that makes it likely the government reopens within days. That boosted risk appetite across markets on Monday, with aluminum rising as much as 1.7% to $2,895 a ton.
