Industry metals rallied on Friday on hopes for the third round of quantitative easing in the US after dismal growth data.

Aluminum followed copper's trend as spot demand indicated improvement. However, China's demand is expected to decline by 11% in 2012, reported Rusal.

Zinc appreciated as warrants increased signaling on the improving spot market activity.
