Century Aluminum (CENX, $6.96, +$0.72, +11.54%) shares rise amid an increase in aluminum prices. BMO called Century Aluminum a "high-beta aluminum play," noting aluminum prices have climbed about 10% in the past few days. LME 3-month aluminum was just off its 2009 high earlier today. Shares of other aluminum companies, including Alcoa Inc. (AA, $11.44, +$0.29, +2.60%) and Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd. (ACH, $27.17, +$1.60, +6.25%), were also up, though Century - considered to trade most closely with aluminum prices - was leading the pack.
