Shanghai bourse plans alumina futures draft in commodities derivatives push
The Shanghai Futures Exchange (ShFE) aims to release a draft of an alumina futures contract in late 2018 or early 2019, after requests from the market to create a price benchmark for the feedstock used to make aluminium, an official said on Thursday. "We believe that by the end of this year or by the beginning of next year we will release a draft for discussion in public," Zhang Zhiyong, the head of ShFE's non-ferrous metals department, told AZ China's aluminium and raw materials conference in Shanghai. China's major commodity exchanges have been rushing to launch futures contracts on a range of products - from dates to electricity - in recent years as they move to tap investor risk appetite and offer the country's vast industrial sector ways to protect revenue.

Alcoa's stock rallies after B. Riley FBR analyst turns bullish
Shares of Alcoa Corp. rose 1% in premarket trade, after B. Riley FBR analyst Lucas Pipes turned bullish on the aluminum producer, saying higher than expected alumina prices should benefit the company's near-term outlook and earnings power. Pipes raised his rating to buy from neutral, and raised his price target to $50, which is 22% above Tuesday's closing price, from $48. He said the recent weakness in the stock stems primarily from increasing macro concerns and trouble spots in copper, which he believes "opens up an attractive valuation point for Alcoa." Pipes said the aluminum market is projected to remain tight as demand outpaces supply through 2020 by 2.5% average annual growth. The stock had tumbled 17% over the past three months through Tuesday, while the S&P 500 has gained 3.6%.
