Chinese buying had emerged to support copper once it crumbled to the $2,313 support level under early pressure from commission house selling, traders said. But volumes remained light and the market was relatively quiet in ring trading, moving sideways between the day's lows and previous support of $2,335. "After copper's support held, it's been very quiet in the rings," a trader said. Three months copper finally settled at $2,329 at the end of the morning session, a decline of $9 from Wednesday's kerb. Traders said copper was still vulnerable to the downside, with a breach of the $2,313 break-out point targeting the other side of copper's mid-February gap, at $2,288. Cash to three months backwardation was slightly wider at around $50, compared to $46 on Wednesday. Aluminium similarly had held at support and was trading in the bottom end of a range capped by resistance at $1,690-$1,700. It ended the kerb $1,662, down just $4. Lead, which racked up strong gains on speculative buying on Wednesday, held on to most of the gains helped by consumer interest. But the $700 level was proving difficult to surmount, traders noted. It was jut easier at $692, down $1. A backwardation in the cash/threes of $2/$3, against level on Wednesday evening, was also helping buoy prices. Similarly zinc was little changed, with good physical business underpinning the market. But extending Wednesday's speculative rally was tough because of a band of resistance between $1,280 and $1,300. It settled at $1,676, up $1. The market's overbought status, with the 14-day RSI at around 73 percent, led some analysts to predict an imminent downward correction. Tin was $30 firmer at $6,060, eyeing resistance at $6,075/$6,100. Nickel's support just below $8,000 continued to hold and prices gyrated in a relatively narrow band between that level and $8,080. It finished at $8,020, down $50. Alloy was last indicated virtually unchanged at $1,545/55. FRANCUSKA BURZA - 12. ožujka 1997. BAKAR FFR/100 KG 1448 KOSITAR FFR/100 KG 4073 CINK EL.
