The copper market capitalised on another decline in stocks - down 10,950 tonnes to 191,550 tonnes - to make a further attempt on the stubborn $1,950 barrier. Traders said the stock fall at the higher end of forecasts raised some uncertainty over whether metal was moving into consumption or just being re-located. Nevertheless, a widening in the backwardation was also helpful, with speculative buying keeping the market comfortably in the plus column. However, levels above $1,950 again proved difficult to sustain and by the end of the kerb copper was trading at $1,950, a $16 gain from Monday's kerb close. Aluminium shrugged off a 125-tonne stock increase, and forged higher on technical factors, as well as influential short-covering against a background of keen Far Eastern physical interest. Buy-stops were triggered above $1,350, and the market concluded the kerb at $1,358, up $32, with the next chart objective around $1,370/75. The rest of the metals complex was fairly quiet, but lead staged a technical recovery from Monday's seven-month lows, helped by a 875-tonne stock fall. This took the market close to the $750 level, with last morning business at $747, up $9 from yesterday. Zinc tried to re-establish itself back above $1,020 but tended to falter during the kerb, with a 125-tonne stock fall seen as neutral. However, prices were still $4 higher at $1,019. Tin edged higher in slow conditions, but struggled to stay above the $6,000 level. Three months finished the kerb at $6,000/10, against Monday's $5,975 close. Nickel trading was undramatic and the market followed the general trend with prices concluding the kerb at $7,140, a pared gain of $20. Alloy was marked up with primary, and some modest buying was encouraged by price levels above $1,200. Last trade was at $1,220, up $20. FRANCUSKA BURZA KOVINA - 15. listopada 1996.
