Aluminium prices went up by 0.29 per cent to Rs 104.65 per kg in futures trade today as participants strengthened their positions, supported by an upward trend overseas.

Further, strong demand in the spot markets also influenced metal prices.

Marketmen said apart from increased domestic demand, a firming global trend where Aluminium reached a three-week high in London on speculation that supplies of the metal will trail demand, mainly influenced metal prices at futures trade here.

Globally, aluminium for delivery in three months added one per cent to close at $1,814.50 a tonne on the London Metal Exchange.
