Aluminium prices on Friday slipped 10 paise to Rs 261.55 per kilogram in the futures trade as participants trimmed their positions on a weak trend in the spot market.

On the Multi Commodity Exchange, aluminium for delivery in September fell 10 paise or 0.10 per cent to Rs 261.55 per kg in 789 lots.
