Copper moved lower from the outset, following on from Thursday when the $1,950 level was relinquished, with a larger than expected warehouse inventory increase also undermining the market. Stocks rose by 9,100 tonnes, the latest in a run of increases that suggests a trend may be developing, traders said. Meanwhile, the spreads continued to soften nearby, with the overall cash/threes backwardation at $60/65, although there were signs of tightness for September dates. In the short-term prices are expected to continue range-trading, with $1,900 and $1,970 the floor and ceiling of an entrenched market. Last kerb business was at $1,933 a tonne, down $16 from Thursday. Elsewhere, a 450-tonne rise in nickel stocks resulted in prices extending recent declines to $7,010 at one stage before the market perked up in the rings. Traders said nickel had become slightly oversold in declines from the $7,200 level, while the cash/threes contango narrowed on some borrowing interest to around $96, against $105 on Thursday. Earlier, belated borrowing against Thursday's prompt (TOM/NEXT) saw a $10 backwardation paid. Last three months business this morning was at $7,050, against the previous close of $7,070. Other metals traded routinely, with mostly softer prices a reflection of copper's weakness. Aluminium remained below $1,500, but did not extend the downside break as the rise in stocks was a smallish 125 tonnes. Last business was at $1,495, down $2. Lead inventories rose by 975 tonnes which put some pressure on prices, although trade was dull. The market ended at $815, a $7 loss. Zinc held steady, against a background of a 2,425-tonne stock fall, and was $1 higher at $1,035. Tin lacked interest, and was indicated at a little-changed $6,140/6,150 at the end of the kerb. Alloy fell $15 to $1,290. CIJENE KOVINA NA NJEMAČKOJ BURZI - 16. kolovoza 1996.
