Traders said the copper market focused on the spreads, with the cash/three months period now firmly in contango. This benchmark spread was at $9/12, against $4 overnight and backwardations earlier this week. Forward spreads in end-1996 and early-1997, where backwardations still prevail, were also softening. "It is on the run now -- people are lending to get these backs before they go," one trader said. LME stocks fell by 2,900 tonnes, although a drawdown had been anticipated so this was shrugged off by the market. Forward prices struggled after an early failure yet again near $1,950, and by the end of the kerb session the market was testing the support around $1,920. Last trade was at $1,918, an $18 a tonne loss from Thursday. Softness percolated throughout the complex during the kerb, and aluminium notched up another 2-1/4 year low of $1,403 before last business at $1,406, down $22. LME stocks rose by 4,825 tonnes, while IPAI August output increased slightly, both as expected. Nickel held in a narrow range, but tended towards the lower end, with last morning business at $7,380, down $10. Stocks rose 594 tonnes, again as expected. Inventory movements in lead and zinc were both within market expectations and market interest was slow. Last lead business was at $782, down $5, while zinc shed $2 at $1,033.50. Tin eased to challenge the $6,100 level, a $19 loss, while alloy was marked lower to $1,225/30 a tonne. FRANCUSKA BURZA KOVINA - 20. rujna 1996. BAKAR FFR/100 KG 1044 KOSITAR FFR/100 KG 3690 CINK EL.
