The accelerated climb in LME stocks in recent weeks has become a heavy burden on aluminium, with any attempt to rally failing to gain traction. Having put in a base at 2,450 dollars/tonne in mid-August, three-month prices rallied to 2,590 dollars/tonne, but the rebound stalled with the market falling to fresh lows in mid-September just above 2,400 dollars/tonne and since then prices have been struggling even to tread water. Perhaps a good gauge of sentiment came from the mood of delegates from Metal Bulletin's annual aluminium conference in Dubai. The feeling was one of mild despair, with little to be bullish about and plenty to be bearish about. Reasons behind the gloom not surprisingly featured the rise in stocks and the ongoing economic concerns. In addition to the fact that LME stocks have now climbed over 200,000 tonnes since the start of the year, with an 80,000-tonne rise since the start of September alone, there was talk of another 200,000-300,000 tonnes of metal available that may also be earmarked to be put on warrant.

机译：最近几周伦敦金属交易所（LME）库存的加速上涨已经成为铝的沉重负担，任何试图反弹的尝试都未能获得吸引力。在8月中旬触及2,450美元/吨的基数后，三个月价格上涨至2,590美元/吨，但反弹停滞，市场在9月中旬跌至新低，略高于2,400美元/吨，此后价格甚至挣扎着挣扎。 Metal Bulletin在迪拜举行的年度铝质会议的代表们的情绪也许很好地衡量了这种情绪。这种感觉是一种轻微的绝望感，几乎没有什么好看的，有很多值得看跌的。令人沮丧的背后原因不足为奇的是库存上升和持续的经济担忧。自今年年初以来，伦敦金属交易所的库存已经增加了200,000吨，仅从9月初以来就增加了80,000吨，此外，还有关于200,000-300,000吨的金属可用量的传闻。专供认股权证。
