Aluminium prices edged up by 0.45% to Rs 112.35 per kg in futures trade today as participants enlarged positions amid a firming trend overseas.
Besides, industrial demand in spot markets influenced metal prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, aluminium for delivery in January inched up by 50 paise, or 0.45%, to Rs 112.35 per kg in a business turnover of 205 lots.
Likewise, the metal for delivery in February traded higher by 25 paise, or 0.22%, to Rs 112.90 per kg in four lots.
Marketmen said apart from increased domestic demand, a firming trend in base metals at the London Metal Exchange (LME) on better-than-forecast economic growth in China, the world's largest consumer, helped aluminium futures to trade higher.
