Most of the other base metals ticked higher in sympathy and nickel backed away from a test of Monday's lows. Three months copper finished the morning kerb at $1,905 per tonne, up $22 from Monday, after stocks fell by 8,825 tonnes, nearly 6,000 tonnes more than expected. Many analysts had been expecting copper to remain under pressure after slipping under $1,900 in late trading on Friday and losing ground on Monday. "We saw some good cash buying on the kerb and then some stops were hit," a floor trader said. In the first ring, nickel headed down towards Monday's nadir of $7,200 after stocks rose 462 tonnes, scoring a low of $7,220. But it rebounded, ending the morning at $7,290, down $30 from the previous afternoon kerb close. The market has been largely ignoring a week-long dispute at the Manitoba facility of Inco, which analysts say has good reserves. "Estimates vary, but it is felt that a dispute of up to one month could be managed, but obviously the longer output is down, the better the stock situation will be with respect to prices," said broker GNI. Aluminium held close to Monday's levels, with last kerb business at $1,395, up $3. The break below $1,400 has damaged the chart picture, but the market was oversold and support was being seen, dealers said. "I've seen some good consumer buying, but that doesn't mean it won't go lower," a floor trader said. Tin stabilised after Monday's drop to six-month lows, finishing the morning at $6,060 per tonne, up $30. Chartist Elli Gifford of Investment Research of Cambridge said tin risked forming a major top. "Critical support is at $5,950 and were it to be breached, falls should extend to $5,400 at least," she said. "Against any mildly oversold background such a breakdown may be averted near term, but the longer term picture has deteriorated enough to suggest that this risk may not be avoided for long," Gifford added. Lead also moved sideways, reluctant to return to Monday's low of $764, finishing the morning at $778, up $3. Monday's nadir should provide support, while resistance was pegged at $780. Zinc also edged higher, with last morning business at $1,022, up $3, Alloy was untraded on the kerb, but last ring business was at $1,228, up $3. FRANCUSKA BURZA KOVINA - 24. rujna 1996.
