News late Wednesday that Lehman Brothers is to wind down its metals and energy business and relinquish LME broker status made the market nervous at the opening and a few selling orders was all it took to prompt a lower opening. Early weakness took three months delivery copper back to support around $2,185 a tonne and it wasn't until traders were satisified this had held, that buying appeared in other metals. "Copper is overbought, the market is nervous and volumes are thin," a trader said. The price later recovered to $2,216 before settling around $2,210 at the end of the morninig kerb, a loss of $5 from Wednesday's close. News that Anvil Range is to temporarily shut down its Yukon lead and zinc mine saw buyers at the ready in those markets this morning. Zinc which has seen charts turn constructive recently and funds already show an interest was ripe for further gains, traders said. But it ran in to resistance above $1,085 and it ended the session at $1,083, up $6 a tonne. "Anvil added to the positive feel in the zinc market," said Adam Rowley of Macquarie Equities. Lead climbed to $712 before ending at $710.50, up $6.50. Aluminium after early hesitancy raced back up to the recent resistance area starting at $1,520 but once again could not break through and it last traded at $1,513, up $5. "A lot of consumers have been backing off, waiting for the dip. Now they are concerned it's got as low as its going to get, so they're getting back in," Rowley said. He reckoned that a move to $1,600 was a possible over the next couple of months. Tin was firmer on some chart buying and shortcovering and reflecting some nearby tightening which saw cash/threes move to $15. But resistance above $6,150 came into play and the price slipped back to end at $6,125, up $35 a tonne. Nickel was underpinned by recent consumer interest on dips and it climbed around $100 to $6,960 at one stage before last trading at $6,940. Traders said news that the German steel producers aassociation WVS said that local nickel consumption was down 15,000 to 18,000 tonnes in 1996 generally confirmed analysts' ideas. But they noted WVS expected a three to five percent rise in stainless steel production in 1997. Aluminium alloy was slow and ended at $1,355/$1,360, up $5.
