Speculative liquidation pushed October to support at Friday's low of 11.00 cents in early dealings, but the trade stepped in to blunt losses and buoy prices over unchanged. The July/October spread narrowed to par, but settled at 0.02 cent from 0.03 cent on Friday. The spot July contract closed 0.07 cent firmer at 11.13 cents per lb, traded 11.23 to 11.02 cents. October ended up 0.08 cent at 11.11 cents, while the rest of the board finished 0.07 to 0.01 cent higher. The trade is expected to keep prices in their current range ahead of the expiry of the July contract, on June 30. A move under 11.00 cents in October, however, could set off sell stops and pressure prices to recent lows. October hit its recent low of 10.96 cents on June 2. Open interest in the October contract fell by 4,605 lots to stand at 84,881 lots as of Monday. July lost 5,810 lots to maintain open interest of 39,491 lots. An estimated 33,434 lots changed hands on the day, compared with Friday's official 62.269 lots. ((Suzanne Rostler, New York Commodities Desk 212 859 1640)) 241019 MET jun 97
