LONDON (DOW JONES)--ZINC PRICES ON THE LONDON METAL EXCHANGE CAME UNDER PRESSURE IN THE RINGS ON FUND-RELATED SELLING, LME TRADERS SAID. COPPER PRICES FELL ON FUND LIQUIDATION AND ALUMINUM CAME UNDER PRESSURE FROM SELLING BY TWO OFF-MARKET COMPANIES. (LME THREE-MONTHS OFFICIAL PRICE IN DOLLARS A METRIC TON WITH PREVIOUS OFFICIAL CLOSE IN PARENTHESES. NYMEX COPPER AT 1330 GMT IN CENTS A POUND, WITH PREVIOUS CLOSE IN PARENTHESES.) COPPER 1,862.50 (1,879.00) ZINC 1,093.50 (1,107.50) ALUMINUM 1,451.75 (1,476.50) TIN 5,747.50 (5,727.50) NICKEL 5,642.50 (5,575.00) LEAD 562.75 (564.50) NYMEX MAY COPPER 84.10 (83.45) ZINC PRICES WERE GIVEN AN INITIAL BOOST IN PRE-MARKET TRADING THURSDAY ON NEWS OF A SIGNIFICANT WITHDRAWAL OF LME INVENTORIES BUT GAINS WERE QUICKLY LOST AS FUND SELLING ENTERED THE MARKET AND PUSHED PRICES DOWN TO $1,098/MT. ALTHOUGH PRICES RECOVERED BRIEFLY IN OFFICIAL RINGS, FURTHER SELLING PRESSURED PRICES TO A NEW LOW AT $1,094/MT. "TWO BIG OFF-MARKET COMPANIES ARE SELLING ZINC. THEY PITCH THE PRICE ON THE SCREEN BELOW WHAT EVER THE THE CURRENT TRADE IS AND THAN EVERYBODY ELSE FOLLOWS," SAID AN LME-RING TRADER FOR A U.K. BROKERAGE. TRADERS SAID THURSDAY'S DIP IN PRICES WAS SURPRISING AS CONTINUED WITHDRAWALS OF LME STOCKS SUGGESTED THERE WAS GOOD DEMAND FOR PHYSICAL ZINC. COPPER PRICES SPIKED LOWER IN THE RINGS ON FUND LIQUIDATION BUT A RALLY IN NEW YORK PROVIDED SUPPORT DURING THE KERB. IN OFFICIAL RINGS, ALUMINUM PRICES FELL $8 ON SPECULATIVE SELLING AHEAD OF OPTIONS DECLARATIONS DAY MAY, 6. ON THAT DAY, USUALLY THE FIRST WEDNESDAY IN THE MONTH, TRADERS HAVE TO DECLARE WHETHER THEY INTEND TO USE THE OPTION THEY ARE HOLDING. "PRICES WENT DOWN ONLY A LITTLE BECAUSE TRADE VOLUMES ARE LOW," SAID A TRADER FOR A FRENCH TRADE HOUSE. "PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING ALUMINUM NOW ARE PAPER TRADERS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR FUNDAMENTALS. WE EXPECT PRICES TO RECOVER A BIT AFTER OPTIONS DECLARATION DAY," SAID AN LME-RING TRADER. 301529 MET apr 98
