The August prompt date activity in copper was fairly unexciting during the rings, with much of the business matched off between the sessions. Pricing trade in the rest of the complex was also fairly smooth, they said. Despite the move away from the lows, copper prices are expected to favour the downside and test the $1,900 floor of the current $70 trading range, with immediate dates showing little sign of tightness. Cash to the end of August is basically level, with premiums mostly located in and around the September date. September/three months is at a $50 backwardation, while October/threes is $24/25 backwardation. The premium for cash/threes, meanwhle, has settled between $55/60, against just aove $60 on Friday and over $90 a week ago. Three months prices picked up from a low of $1,915 to end the session at $1,925 a tonne, against Friday's kerb close of $1,927. Analysts said the easing in the backwardation has reflected recent stock increases, although September may be different. Heavy short-covering against the sell-offs in June may find metal thin on the ground if the stock increases have been copper lent to the market. In aluminium, copper's recovery helped arrest a decline towards a test of $1,480, although this level is likely to be challenged soon, given slow consumer interest, traders said. Last kerb business was at $1,489, still down $2 from Friday's kerb close. The alloy market was indicated at a slightly lower $1,280/85. Nickel prices came under sporadic pressure from merchant sales and liquidation against the August prompt, although the $7,100 level attracted good buying support. Last kerb business was at $7,120, a $20 loss. Lead and zinc traded routinely, and trended lower in line with the overall morning trend. Lead ended the kerb $4 lower at $813, while zinc was down $3 at $1,033. Tin was mostly neglected, but showed signs of drifting lower. Three months concluded the kerb indicated at $6,140/50 a tonne against Friday's $6,160. FRANCUSKA BURZA KOVINA - 19. kolovoza 1996. BAKAR FFR/100 KG 1069 KOSITAR FFR/100 KG 3666 CINK EL.
