Zinc powered to its highest levels in two years when funds re-entered a market buoyed by market tightness. LME stocks fell by 1,450 tonnes on Friday when the market was expecting a modest increase and a tender on Thursday by the US Mint commanded firm prices, reflecting solid physical interest. Analysts say the concentrate market is tight and output at smelters may have to be cut back in coming months. "'Arctic' concentrates should mostly be worked off by April, and with the Anvil Range Faro mine probably out until at least mid-year, the concentrates market could get very tight," said Larry Kaplan of Flemings Global Mining Group. Three months prices touched $1,174, the highest since January 27, 1995, when the market peaked at $1,196, before ending the morning kerb $24 higher at $1,160. "It sliced through three or four levels of resistance, but we may have some trouble where we are now. There was supposed to be producer selling around 53 cents a pound ($1,168/tonne)," a floor trader said. Funds also piled into the nickel market, which zoomed up to the strongest levels since September 11, 1996. Three months prices attained a summit of $7,640, a gain of $345, before finishing the morning $235 stronger at $7,530. The next target was pegged as the September high at $7,820. Copper three months came off its low of $2,140 and settled just under Thursday's closing levels, shruggiing off a stocks rise of 26,100 tonnes as nearby spreads traded at heated levels. The last trade was $2,156, off $4. Once again, players who waited to borrow against the previous day's prompt (tom/next) paid the LME-imposed limit of $24, while cash commanded a $23 premium over the next day. The LME has capped these two spreads at one percent of the previous day's cash settlement price. But after several days of narrowing, the cash/three months differential gained about $10 to $210/$220. "We've had some borrowing in the Feb/threes, which I've heard is from the Chinese. Not a lot of volume, but enough to keep things firm," one floor trader said. The Feb/threes backwardation narrowed to about $30 at one point on Thursday but finished Friday's afternoon kerb at $52/$57. Aluminium held to a tight range, briefly getting a shot of confidence from a 10,750-tonne stocks fall, but after failing to surmount $1,625 resistance finished the morning little changed at $3 higher at $1,617. More consolidation was probably needed before aluminium could resume its upward track, analysts said. Lead and tin followed the pattern in aluminium, trying higher levels after stock falls but settling at barely different prices. Lead touched $681 before ending the morning at $675, up $2, while tin ran up to $5,950 before closing the kerb at $5,860, up $40. Alloy finished the morning unchanged at $1,520. _________________________________________________________________ _ STANJE LME ZALIHA NA DAN - 31.01.1997. - po pojedinim skladištima _________________________________________________________________ _ ++ COPPER WIRE BARS + ANTWERP 50 HAMBURG 50 ++ COPPER CATHODES + ANTWERP 2800 DUNKIRK 50 HAMBURG 19750 ROTTERDAM 10275 PIRAEUS 25 GENOA 125 LEGHORN 5225 TRIESTE 14150 BARCELONA 225 BILBAO 12250 GOTHENBURG 9625 HELSINBORG 10050 LIVERPOOL 4525 BALTIMORE 3300 CHICAGO 175 LONG BEACH 48825 ST LOUIS 2350 SINGAPORE 45000 ++ TIN ++ ANTWERP 10 HAMBURG 125 ROTTERDAM 4440 GENOA 480 TRIESTE 10 BILBAO 40 HULL 650 LIVERPOOL 4150 BALTIMORE 445 CHICAGO 20 LONG BEACH 5 NEW HAVEN 50 LOSA... 35 ++ LEAD + ANTWERP 75 DUNKIRK 25 HAMBURG 975 ROTTERDAM 2075 GENOA 3850 GOTHENBURG 8750 HELSINBORG 80625 GOOLE 425 HULL 1150 LIVERPOOL 50 SUNDERLAND 925 DETROIT 850 LONG BEACH 500 SINGAPORE 11725 ++ ZINC + ANTWERP 49625 DUNKIRK 1750 BREMEN 3025 HAMBURG 2250 ROTTERDAM 184950 PIRAEUS 275 GENOA 13825 TRIESTE 111675 BARCELONA 10625 BILBAO 13350 GOTHENBURG 10625 HELSINBORG 60550 LIVERPOOL 13425 CHICAGO 200 SINGAPORE 6775 ++ NICKEL + ANTWERP 858 ROTTERDAM 36744 GENOA 78 TRIESTE 54 GOTHENBURG 9264 LONG BEACH 96 NEW HAVEN 120 SINGAPORE 504 ++ ALUMINIUM ++ ANTWERP 5075 HAMBURG 25 ROTTERDAM 86300 TRIESTE 1300 BILBAO 650 GOTHENBURG 42725 HELSINBORG 163875 AVONMOUTH 28475 HULL 111775 LIVERPOOL 279525 NEWCASTLE 134750 SUNDERLAND 57175 DETROIT 3000 NEW HAVEN 8400 HAKATA 50 MOJI 50 SINGAPORE 22825 ++ ALUMINIUM ALLOY ++ ANTWERP 6300 DUNKIRK 2360 DUISBERG 700 HAMBURG 60 ROTTERDAM 960 BRESCIA 3020 GENOA 960 TRIESTE 7860 BARCELONA 80 BILBAO 1800 GOTHENBURG 220 DERBY 720 HULL 880 LIVERPOOL 28220 CHICAGO 4580 DETROIT 1320 LONG BEACH 9880 ST LOUIS 3160 SINGAPORE 100 _________________________________________________________________ _ STANJE LME ZALIHA NA DAN 31. siječnja 1997. količine su u tonama _________________________________________________________________ _ VOLUME IN TONNES COPPER 191750 UP 26100 TIN 10460 UNCH NGED LEAD 112000 DOWN 1725 ZINC 482925 DOWN 1450 ALUMINIUM 945975 DOWN 10750 NICKEL 47718 DOWN 894 AL.ALLOY 73180 DOWN 160 STOCK IN OUT COPPER wire bars 100 0 0 COPPER cathodes 191650 27375 1275 TIN 10460 185 185 LEAD 112000 25 1750 ZINC 482925 100 1550 NICKEL briquettes 4080 0 0 NICKEL cathodes 43602 168 1062 NICKEL pellets 36 0 0 STOCK IN OUT ALUMINIUM ingots 405200 575 4175 ALUMINIUM T-bars 365925 1175 7725 ALUMINIUM sows 174850 0 600 AL.ALLOY D12S/JIS 500 0 0 AL.ALLOY 226/DIN 43160 60 80 AL.ALLOY A380.1 29520 0 140 FRANCUSKI METALI - 30. siječnja 1997.
