Aluminium also firmed on the back of copper, sweeping easily above the nearby $1,540 resistance level, although its upside potential was seen limited, they added. Three-months copper ended the morning kerb on the London Metal Exchange (LME) at $2,139, up $25 from Wednesday's afternoon kerb close. "There's been some speculative buying and possibly light fund buying as the spreads tighten," a trader said, adding that the buying was a combination of shortcovering and fresh buying. But volumes were thin ahead of the Christmas holiday, which was exaggerating any moves, dealers noted. Prices had zipped higher at the end of PM kerb trading on Wednesday after borrowing of January dates and a widening backwardation induced shortcovering. Late inter-office trading saw prices move still higher to just under $2,130. Cash to three months backwardation tightened further on Thursday to around $100, up about $10. Copper's next upside target was $2,150, analysts said. "Prices...are currently tackling stiff resistance in the said in a commentary. Aluminium was also on the positive side of its $1,540 resistance level, having absorbed strength from copper. It finished at $1,545, versus Wednesday's late kerb close of $1,537. But producer selling would probably cap any attempts to breach the $1,550 level, a trader noted. Nickel continued its recovering from 26-month lows hit earlier this week, gaining $100 to end the kerb at $6,750. Lead prices edged up above $700 and was last at the technical resistance level of $705, a gain of $7. Zinc was quiet and last bid at $1,057, up $4. Tin was up $25 at $5,845, while alloy was largely ignored but last bid $7 stronger at $1,377. FRANCUSKI METALI - 18. prosinca 1996. BAKAR FFR/100 KG 1192 KOSITAR FFR/100 KG 3582 CINK EL.
