SHANGHAI, Jun. 15 (SMM) – The negotiation between Greece and its creditors produced no substantive results. University of Michigan’s May CCI and PPI for the US were upbeat, allowing the US dollar index to surge, but falling back at the end of trading. LME aluminum prices fell at as low as USD 1,734/mt at one points, constrained by the US dollar index, but inched up to close at USD 1,740/mt. Trading volumes decreased 5,016 to 7,403 lots, and total positions increased 1,955 to 853,000.
