The other metals followed suit, showing little enthusiasm for making any significant moves. Three months copper popped above $2,150 per tonne resistance in early pre-market trade after a firm New York close on Thursday, hitting a high of $2,165. But prices fell back after failing to challenge resistance pegged at $2,175, based on the highs of December 12 and 20. They ended the morning kerb up $12 at $2,156. Stocks data were not released on Friday due to the holidays but traders will be eyeing them next Tuesday after inventories rose by a net 3,950 tonnes this Tuesday. Analysts noted that 4,100 tonnes were delivered into Singapore, Tuesday's data showed. "This needs careful monitoring. If stocks start to build up, then traders' fears that recent stock drawdowns have just been a relocation of metal may prove right," broker Rudolf Wolff said in a commentary. "The interpretation may be that the Chinese are not taking as much as has been talked about," Wolff added. Aluminium made a stab at confronting resistance at $1,570, hitting that level and equalling the high of November 28. But prices lost confidence after failing to surmount resistance and ended the morning kerb at $1,556, down $1. Support was pegged at $1,540 and $1,506/7. Nickel revisited the 2-1/4 year low of $6,480, which was also Tuesday's closing price, but ended Friday morning slightly firmer at $6,510/20. Next major support is pegged at $6,340, followed by $6,200. Lead finished the morning $4 easier at $715 and tin was at $5,770/75 after $5,780. Zinc gained $3 to $1,075 and alloy was $8 weaker at $1,390. FRANCUSKI METALI - 27. prosinca 1996. BAKAR FFR/100 KG 1248 KOSITAR FFR/100 KG 3566 CINK EL. FFR/100 KG 625 ALUMINIJ FFR/100 KG 1010 SREB.
