Other metals caught their breath after spiralling lower on Wednesday. In copper, belated borrowing against the previous day's prompt (tom/next) traded up to a $25 premium, the limit imposed by the LME, which is one percent of the previous day's cash settlement price. The premium of cash over the next day, however, only traded up to $22. The same limit of $25 holds for this spread. The market was seen deflating further out, however, and the benchmark cash/threes spread came in $45 to $200/$210. Three months prices jerked about as they explored lower levels after breaking out on Wednesday from a $2,230-$2,290 range they had largely held for the previous three weeks. The market lurched down to $2,162 and raced up to $2,190 as the market carved out a new price band. Prices may take a rest in this new range before heading lower towards $2,100, one floor trader said. "The buying has been weak, we've seen more Far Eastern lending and traders here are much more willing to sell the market now they can see ahead when tightness will come out of the market," he said, referring to a succession of tight dates that eases up after the February date. The market will be watching Friday's stock data, which is expected to rise again as the hefty backwardations attract metal into LME warehouses. Floor traders said stocks should rise by 10-15,000 tonnes, up from Tuesday's 9,650 tonnes. Most of the other metals took a rest after Wednesday's weakness that swept most of the complex into lower ranges. Zinc ended the morning $1 lower at $1,125 after briefly touching $1,133 on speculative interest. The market is seen as having more upside potential, but many players had been expecting a correction and say prices may still head to $1,100 before looking at the upside again. Aluminium edged down $2 to $1,611, holding in a narrow range. Analysts say the market needs to regain the $1,625 level to keep from falling towards $1,585. Nickel bucked the softer trend, adding $58 to $7,238, but a close above $7,320 is seen as necessary to relieve downside pressure. Lead finished the kerb unchanged at $669 and tin shed $30 to $5,770. Alloy moved up to $1,515/20 from $1,505. FRANCUSKI METALI - 30. siječnja 1997. BAKAR FFR/100 KG 1385 KOSITAR FFR/100 KG 3782 CINK EL. FFR/100 KG 704 ALUMINIJ FFR/100 KG 995 SREB.
