Vedanta and other aluminium stocks jumps up to 10% in last 5 days due to hike in metal prices

Aluminium prices have steadily increased over the past week, surpassing the $2,700 per tonne threshold due to the European Union’s ban on Russian aluminium imports, raising concerns about potential supply shortages.

Rising metal prices typically benefit companies such as Hindalco and Vedanta, as it enhances their profit margins. Consequently, these stocks have seen significant buying activity this week, driving the Nifty Metal index up by nearly 5.2 percent over the past five trading sessions.

During Friday’s trading session, the Nifty Metal index surged by around 86.7 points, reflecting a gain of about 1 percent, and closed in the green at 8,609.7.
