LME copper creeps higher in AM ring, others follow
LONDON, Feb 18 (Reuter) - London metal exchange copper
prices edged higher in thin morning ring trading on Tuesday,
helping to steady the other base metals.
"It's very thin. There's barely any actual business being
conducted - this all looks purely technical," a trader noted.
Three months copper was last at $2,281 per tonne, up $3 from
Monday's kerb close and off the day's high of $2,288.
Meanwhile the premium of cash to three months copper flared
gently to $70/$73, up about $10 from the morning.
Light borrowing in the early parts of March and April were
boosting the spread, which has come down from highs above $300
in recent weeks, traders noted.
The widening spread and a small LME stocks drawdown of 1,100
tonnes was providing a little support for the market.
Some dealers said they had expected more metal to leave LME
warehouses and were looking ahead to further drawdowns in the
future.
"A lot of metal was attracted to LME warehouses because of
the recent high backwardation, and it's going to drift out
again," a dealer said.
Aluminium prices also pushed higher, helped by a 5,050-tonne
decline in stocks and copper's upside.
It finished up $11 at $1,581, near the day's highs and close
to interim $1,580/85 resistance.
Nickel tumbled a low of $7,640, the lowest in two weeks,
despite a modest stocks drop of 120 tonnes. But prices then
bounced strongly to finish the kerb at $7,710, down $40.
Zinc was barely changed at $1,219, down $0.50, after a
stocks rise of 1,125 tonnes.
Lead ticked up $4 to $659, boosted by a stock decline of 550
tonnes. Tin was just firmer at $6,060, up $35, after a drawdown
of
95 tonnes.Alloy was last quoted at $1,508/$1,512, an increase of
$18,despite a smalll rise in stocks of 20 tonnes.
