Reality check

Why aluminium is hard

Fragmented sources

LME, MCX, RBI FX, supplier circulars, broker chat—nothing reconciles by default.

Month mismatch

Delivery windows rarely match hedge prompts; hidden basis creeps in.

FX drag

₹ moves can erase 'good' LME moves; manual conversions slow decisions.

Supplier rules

NALCO/Hindalco/Vedanta triggers differ. Missing one means missed windows.

Spreadsheet risk

Unit errors and stale cells; weak audit and version control.

Working capital

Margin calls vs premiums—without early alerts, exits turn costly.

How teams cope

The old workflow

1

Check 6–8 sites and ping brokers for levels

2

Convert USD/MT to ₹/kg; eyeball FX and carry

3

Pick a 'close enough' contract month

4

Wait for supplier circulars under time pressure

5

Verify MTM & Margin Calls separately

6

Patch spreadsheets; P&L aligns at month‑end

Clarity in one place

Supplier Signal Watch

Live check of NALCO/Hindalco/Vedanta triggers with pre‑alerts.

Hedge Windows

One‑tap RFQs

Send structured RFQs to brokers; timestamped and audit‑ready.

Supplier Triggers

At‑a‑glance status for leading suppliers. (Sample data)

NALCO

Hindalco

Vedanta/BALCO

We never say "buy now." We frame: consider locking physical / layer hedge / hold & monitor.

Contract Picker

Indicative guide — select a delivery month to see which exchange prompt typically aligns. Not a trading recommendation.

For a May delivery, the indicative hedge prompt is May 3rd‑Wed on LME and May on MCX.

Carry impact ≈ ₹0.8–1.2/kg. FX sensitivity: ±0.5 in USD/INR ≈ ±₹0.7/kg.

Indicative only — actual contract selection depends on settlement dates, liquidity, and your broker. Consult your broker before placing trades.
