Lead, under trade selling, moved to a fresh 15-1/2 month low but subsequently recovered slightly on light waves of short-covering. Traders said they expect further downside pressure in later trading. "Its a downside day after prices failed to build on their gains last week," one LME floor trader said. Aluminium, under speculative and forward selling, was last at $1,585, against Friday's LME kerb close of $1,603. Market operators said the breach of $1,600 helped to further dent chart sentiment which is likely to test support at $1,580 in later trading. As well as suffering from down trending charts aluminium was also finding fundamental pressure from a rise in IPAI December stocks. According to official figures total stocks rose by 45,000 tonnes from November, while unwrought inventories built by 38,000 tonnes. Elsewhere, copper eased after failing to break higher late last week. But tight nearby spreads were offering downside support. Copper's cash to three months backwardation, after earlier narrowing towards $180, snapped back to $195, versus Friday's $210. "There is no doubt that the nearby market is still tight...and while that persists the copper price is not going to fall out of bed," GNI said in their daily commodity report. Traders said they expect LME stocks to rise on Tuesday as metal is attracted to LME warehouses given the recent steep backwardations. Last business was at 2,230, down $9. Profit-taking and speculative liquidation drove nickel lower to $7,720, a loss of $80. Traders said they expected nickel to consolidate before heading higher. They were also expecting an inventory fall on Tuesday. Lead was last at $654, against $675, while zinc eased in line with the general trend to end the morning $14 down at $1,169. Tin was last at $5,880, up $5. Alloy was last at $1,500, down on $1,520/25 on Friday. FRANCUSKI METALI - 10. veljače 1997. BAKAR FFR/100 KG 1415 KOSITAR FFR/100 KG 3841 CINK EL.
