A spate of buying in aluminium gave a boost to the copper market, which was also watching the impact on output of flooding in southern Peru, traders said. "Most activity has been in aluminium, which dragged copper up with it. But it's all falling a bit. The market is neutral and looking for direction, and volumes are light," a trader said. Three months copper briefly pushed well above $2,400 per tonne in early trading, then came off. It was last quoted at $2,398/02, versus $2,395 at Tuesday's kerb close. Prices had rebounded late on Tuesday on news that operations had been curtailed at ASARCO's Southern Peru Copper operations because of flooding. But by Wednesday the news had been factored into the price. "It can't hurt, but we understand that only a little of the output has been affected so it's not a real factor at this point," a trader said. The LME options declaration was expected to pass without incident because of low open interest. Aluminium was firmer at $1,690/91, compared with $1,686 previously. But it was meeting heavy overhead resistance at $1,700 and might need to consolidate before trying again to hurdle that level, traders said. Zinc was a little lower, depressed by lending in forwards and pressure on the spread following its strong upside burst on Tuesday, traders said. It was at $1,245/47, compared with $1,250, but still at 4-1/2 year highs. Lead was also coming under pressure due to slow physical demand and reasonable availability, after failing to hang on above $700 on Tuesday. The cash/threes backwardation, which had reached some $20 early in the week due to tightness in April dates, was down to $4/$8. April/May, which had reached a $27 backwardation, was narrower at $11/$15. Nickel prices were slightly firmer after coming off sharply on Tuesday due to news playing down the possibility of a long strike at Russia's Norilsk Nickel complex. Prices were last quoted at $8,140/60, against $8,100. Tin was little changed at $5,855/70, versus $5,860, while alloy was at $1,560/65, versus $1,555. FRANCUSKA BURZA - 04. ožujka 1997.
