Traders said this helped avert chart breakdowns in aluminium and zinc, which had both been trending lower and threatening to sustain serious losses. However, overall conditions were not particularly busy, and the snap rallies largely reflected the onset of a four-day weekend. "You were always going to get this - people are looking to tidy up their books before Easter. Comex is open on Monday, so its best to be square of this market," one said. For most of the session copper traded lower, touching lows below the $2,350 support point. Spreads were also soggy throughout the rings, before cash pricing purchases triggered a spate of covering. Prices hit their $2,367 session highs on the kerb before settling at $2,360, up $8 from Wednesday's kerb. Despite the bounce, the next move is still seen lower, with charts bearish, and traders projecting an eventual thrust down to $2,300. Elsewhere, zinc suffered from stale bull liquidation after repeated difficulty in breaking above $1,300. Technical selling gathered momentum when sell-stops were hit, with expectations of Chinese zinc being delivered into Singapore next week also putting a dampener on sentiment. But trade buying emerged on dips, and prices were ushered higher, with last morning trade at $1,281, still down $8. Aluminium's fortunes mirrored copper, with the market rescued from a possible swing lower to $1,600. The important $1,630 level was defended, although there was little followthrough on the upside, which suggests the respite may be temporary. Last business was at $1,639, up $7. Nickel wobbled briefly and dropped under $7,600 at one stage before scattered merchant covering helped restore confidence in a market that may have done enough on the downside for the moment. Three months concluded the kerb at $7,720, up $85. Tin business was slow and restricted to a tight range with buying seen on dips towards $5,800. Last business was at $5,850, up $25. Lead and alloy were both subdued, and closed the kerb at stable levels of $681/683 and $1,535/40 a tonne respectively. FRANCUSKA BURZA - 26. ožujka 1997.
