Short-covering and some bargain-hunting buying helped copper up from early two-month lows and aluminium inched above new two-year lows, injecting some life into the rest of the complex. But any decent rally will be treated as a sell opportunity, traders said. "It just does not look good at the moment. There is very little physical buying and once the shorts cover they (markets) are likely to head lower. Also, there is very little volume around," one said. Copper was initially under the cosh, after taking out $1,900 overnight, and prices sagged to a low of $1,862 before finding some solace in the mid-$1870s. Last kerb trade was at $1,870, a loss of $45 from Wednesday's kerb. Nearby premiums remain at low levels and are not a cause for concern, with the overal cash/threes backwardation around $12. Aluminium price moves were not as great as on Wednesday, although the market still notched up a fresh low of $1,429 before concluding the kerb at $1,432, a $6.50 decline from yesterday. The nickel market kept one eye on problems at Norilsk, as well as the upcoming labour contract at Inco's Manitoba facilities, but still back-tracked with LME sentiment negative. Three months closed the kerb at $7,530, down $135. Zinc threatened to break under the $1,000 level at one point, but was helped by some trade buying and closed the session at $1,013, up $8 from the morning low, and a $4 gain from Wednesday. However, tin continued to decline, having lost its hold on the $6,200 level yesterday, and was $65 easier at $6,140. Lead and alloy were quiet and both held relatively steady at $813/814 and $1,240/45 a tonne respectively. FRANCUSKA BURZA KOVINA - 11. rujna 1996.
