Three months copper hit the highest levels since late November 1996, touching $2,295 per tonne as the market was hit by nearby tightness. "The market is still tight. There are still shorts out there," said analyst Robin Bahr of broker Brandeis. Some players have been waiting until the last minute to cover short positions ahead of the February prompt date next week, traders said. Nearby spreads were again firm, with belated borrowing against the previous day's prompt (tom/next) trading at the LME limit of $24 and cash for a day at $22/23. The premium of cash over three months traded at $110 in the first ring, but eased slightly later. This compares with $115/25 at the end of business on Wednesday. Three months ended the kerb at $2,287, up $37, but the failure to break through $2,300 may prompt some disappointed selling this afternoon, Bahr said. The market was jittery after copper's quick rise from around $2,200 on Wednesday which has left little base on the charts, traders said. Forecasts for stocks on Friday were level to 3,000 tonnes higher, floor traders added. Fund buying helped zinc streak through the $1,200 psychological level and touch $1,226, a fresh peak since January 1995. "We haven't seen any selling from China this week," a floor trader said, adding that this was expectd since the Chinese are on holiday celebrating the New Year this week. The market was approaching a chart target of $1,239, the highest price from the rally two years ago. Technicals showed the market was re-entering overbought territory with a 14-day RSI of 77 so consolidation may be needed before prices can add more gains, analysts said. Three months zinc finished the morning kerb $39 higher than Wednesday at $1,225 per tonne. Nickel got encouragement on the kerb, regaining the $7,900 level and touching $7,940, just $20 off its peak on February 7. It ended with a $50 gain at $7,930. Aluminium's move was not as impressive, only adding $11 to $1,566. Resistance was seen at $1,570/75, then $1,586. Support was pegged at $1,554 and $1,534, Tuesday's low. Lead gained $11 to $660 but tin finished the morning little changed at $5,935/40, versus $5,935. Alloy was stronger at $1,485/90 after $1,466 on Tuesday. FRANCUSKI METALI - 13. veljače 1997.
