TRADERS SAID THE FOCUS IS STILL FIRMLY ON ZINC'S NEARBY SPREADS WITH CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY OVER WHETHER CHINESE SHORTS WILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER AGAINST CONTRACTS FALLING PROMPT IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. TRADING ON COPPER AND ALUMINUM WAS LACKLUSTER WITH NARROW SPREADS. THE CONTINUING NERVOUSNESS SHOULD KEEP TODAY'S ACTIVITY LOW-KEY, TRADERS SAID.

ZINC'S CASH TO THREE MONTHS BACKWARDATION IS STEADY AT $180/$190, UNCHANGED ON LATE WEDNESDAY, DESPITE THE LME'S IMPOSITION OF A LIMIT ON DAILY BACKWARDATIONS. THERE WAS STILL SPECULATION OVER THE ABILITY OF THE CHINESE TO DELIVER AGAINST POSITIONS FALLING PROMPT IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER, SAID A TRADER FOR A GERMAN-OWNED FUTURES BROKERAGE AND PHYSICAL TRADE HOUSE. HE SAID THE GENERAL BELIEF IN THE MARKET WAS THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DELIVER.
