"It's the summer and August is a quiet month at the best of times," said one trader. "This year has been no exception." But signs of weakness emerged on nearby copper spreads, with cash narrowing to around $32 above three month prices from $37 on Tuesday afternoon. Three month values were static in very thin conditions, finishing the morning kerb session at $1,944 a tonne, unchanged from Tuesday's afternoon kerb close. Earlier on Wednesday workers at Codelco's Salvador mine in Chile voted to go on strike from Saturday to demand wage increases. Codelco has yet to decide whether it will resume talks with the miners. But with output at 85,000 tonnes a year, LME traders said the mine was too small to have much of an impact on prices. Values were expected to hold in a broad range between $1,900 and $1,970 in the medium term, with bank selling emerging towards the top end of the band and bank buying at the lower end. Dealers also noted light trade buying on copper price dips this week. Spreads weakened, but dealers warned that volatility could quickly return to nearby differentials. This was particularly true ahead of the September options declaration next Wednesday and the September prompt date later in the month, they explained. Business in other base metals was sluggish. Aluminium idled sideways in a narrow range, finishing the session $3 higher at $1,485. Nickel edged back $10 to $7,330, pressured lower by light speculative selling. Lead snapped higher, rising $8 to $803 by the end of the morning kerb, partly on Far Eastern buying and short-covering. Zinc also moved higher, rising $1.50 to $1,026.50 in thin trade. Physical traders said European business continues to suffer from the summer slowdown, but stocks may continue to fall in the region as material makes its way to the more buoyant U.S. market. Tin was last indicated at $6,170/80 from $6,175. Alloy was last quoted at $1,285/88 against $1,275/80 at Tuesday's afternoon kerb close. FRANCUSKA BURZA KOVINA - 28. kolovoza 1996.
