Cash for a day was bid up to a $20 backwardation as the first of the tight dates, January 29, came into play. The LME has imposed limit on that spread of one percent of cash, which on Monday was about $26. The backwardation of cash/three months widened slightly to $305/$315, while cash/week was bid up to a $95 backwardation. There was interest in Feb/threes at $85 backwardation with talk circulating that this was due to a player covering February options postions. Three months activity was sluggish, with players wary about the market's future direction. The big question was whether shorts would cover or roll over and thereby how much the spreads would lose steam as the tight dates become prompt. "I'm just standing back, it could go either way," one floor trader said. Another believed positions would be rolled over and the market remain tight unless the robust backwardations attract too much metal into LME warehouses. Three months ended the morning kerb $18 firmer at $2,261 per tonne while cash finished at $2,573, a fresh high since the November 28 peak of $2,580. Aluminium three months probed above key $1,640 resistance on trade buying but speculative selling took the froth off the market, finishing the morning at $1,638, up $2. Spreads were also active on aluminium, with the cash/threes backwardation holding its narrower stance at $17/$20 while March/June was at a $1/$4 backwardation. April 9/day was at a $3 backwardation. The other metals remained in the background, gravitating within narrow ranges. Zinc stayed in a $6 price band with the floor at $1,140, ending the day $3 stronger at $1,142. Lead added $1 to $700 and nickel finished the kerb unchanged at $7,300. Tin was slightly weaker at $5,990/$6,000 versus $6,020 while alloy ended $3 firmer at $1,535/38.
