Aluminum slides to lowest since Feb. 19 as stronger dollar weighs on metals

AI Market Summary
Aluminum slid to its lowest since mid-February as a stronger US dollar and a more hawkish Fed stance tightened financial conditions for USD-priced commodities. Easing Middle East supply-risk premiums removed a key prior support, while Chinese flows reportedly rotated from commodities into equities. Weakness spilled across industrial metals, with copper also down, reinforcing near-term downside pressure on the complex.
