LONDON (DOW JONES)--BASE METALS PRICES ARE MOSTLY HIGHER IN PRE- MARKET TRADING THURSDAY ON THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE, WITH COPPER'S ATTEMPTS TO HOLD $1,700 A METRIC TON, MAINLY ON TRADE BUYING, LIFTING SENTIMENT SLIGHTLY. ASIAN BUYING OF ALUMINUM - ON THE BACK OF YEN STRENGTH AGAINST THE DOLLAR - HAS HELPED IT HOLD THE LINE AT $1,500, WHILE ZINC HAS PUSHED BACK UP THROUGH $1,100. BUT THE UNDERLYING MOOD IS BEARISH, WITH DEEP-SEATED GLOOM OVER ASIAN DEMAND PROSPECTS LIKELY TO DRAW SELLERS TO ANYTHING MORE THAN AN UP-TICK IN PRICES, DEALERS SAID. (LME THREE-MONTHS PRICES IN DOLLARS A METRIC TON AT 1015GMT, WITH WEDNESDAY'S LATE KERB CLOSE IN PARENTHESES. WEDNESDAY'S NYMEX COPPER CLOSE IS IN CENTS A POUND.) COPPER 1,699 (1,685.75) ZINC 1,100 (1,088.50) ALUMINUM 1,503 (1,504.50) TIN 5,290 (5,290) NICKEL 5,830 (5,797.50) LEAD 577 (561.50) NYMEX MAR. COPPER 76.20 "THERE'S BEEN SOME TRADE BUYING IN COPPER AND SOME BORROWING ON THE JAN-FEB SPREAD," SAID A TRADER FOR A U.S.-OWNED COMMODITIES BROKERAGE. "BUT WE FEEL A LOT OF THE MARKET-MAKERS ARE ACTUALLY STILL LONG IN SOME OF THE METALS AND THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO SELL INTO RALLIES." CONCERN OVER ASIA'S FINANCIAL MARKET TURBULENCE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE METAL-MARKET THINKING. "CLEARLY THERE IS A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE THE CURRENT FAR EASTERN CRISIS STABILIZES," WROTE ANALYSTS AT U.K. BROKERAGE GERRARD & NATIONAL INTER COMMODITIES LTD., IN THEIR LATEST NOTE TO CLIENTS. FOR THE METALS MARKETS, THIS MEANT "NO IMPORTS (TO THOSE COUNTRIES WHOSE CURRENCIES HAVE SLUMPED) FOR A LONG TIME." GNI SAID A SLIDE IN COPPER BACK TO THE 1993 LOW OF $1,613 "SHOULD BE EXPECTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE". ZINC HAS REGAINED $1,100 FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE DAYS BUT ON THE CHARTS IT LOOKS CAPPED AT AROUND $1,110, TRADERS SAID. ALUMINUM, SEEN BY MOST ANALYSTS AS THE LEAST VULNERABLE TO THE ASIAN DEMAND BLIP, LOOKS TO HAVE BOTTOMED OUT AROUND $1,480 AND SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF $1,520, SAID A TRADER FOR A EUROPEAN-OWNED BROKERAGE. 081511 MET jan 98
