ALUMINUM, RATTLED BY A SECOND CONSECUTIVE RISE IN LME STOCKS, SLIPPED IN LINE WITH COPPER BUT STOPPED SHORT OF $1,450 IN THIN VOLUME. THE OTHER METALS WERE MIXED IN TIGHT RANGES, WITH TIN AND LEAD BOTH EDGING UP ON THE BACK OF NEARBY TIGHTNESS, REFLECTED IN CASH-TO-THREE MONTHS BACKWARDATIONS.

"THE MOOD'S CHANGED IN COPPER SINCE IT BROKE BELOW THE 100-DAY MOVING AVERAGE AT $1,800," SAID THE COPPER RING TRADER FOR A U.K. BROKERAGE. "THE BIG LEVEL NOW IS $1,750; BUT THERE'S GOOD TRADE BUYING, GOOD DEMAND FOR WARRANTS AND THAT'S SUPPORTING PRICES." THE SECOND QUARTER IS TRADITIONALLY A PERIOD OF STRONG DEMAND FOR INDUSTRIAL METALS AND CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN BUYING COPPER AND ALUMINUM IN RECENT DAYS, ACCORDING TO TRADERS. ALUMINUM, STEADIED BY COPPER'S RESILIENCE, DRIFTED IN MID-RANGE, WITH POCKETS OF TRADE BUYING LENDING SUPPORT JUST ABOVE $1,450 AND COAXING PRICES HIGHER. "THE BOTTOM OF THE RANGE IS $1,430 BUT I THINK CONSUMERS WOULD COME IN AND BUY BEFORE WE GOT TO THAT LEVEL," SAID A TRADER FOR A U.S.-OWNED BROKERAGE. 191530 MET mar 98
