Traders said nickel was hit by further liquidation and speculative sales, but copper and the other metals tended to drift lower. "We don't expect too much for the rest of this week. We're closed on Wednesday, and the Japanese have holidays towards the end of the week, I believe," one trader said. Nevertheless, there will be pockets of interest throughout the week. Tuesday sees latest warehouse stock data, while January options will be declared on Thursday - the first business day of 1997. Cash pricing sales exerted some pressure on copper, although business was light and the market was largely rangebound. Last three months business on the kerb was at $2,123, little changed from Friday's $2,127 close. Nickel was flirting with price levels below $6,400, and a clear breach of this area could trigger sell-stops and trade down to the next chart support level of $6,330. Prices closed the morning at $6,395, an $81 loss from Friday. Aluminium was ably defended above the $1,540 level, and with physical interest being seen this week the downside appears to be limited in the short-term. Final kerb trade was at $1,543, down just $3 from last week. However, both lead and zinc look vulnerable after sliding back this morning. Lead is poised to test $700 on the downside, ending at $702, an $11 loss from Friday, although traders cite current cold weather in Europe as a supportive factor. Zinc eased under $1,070, and is now likely to test $1,060, although trade was slack. Last kerb business was at $1,067, down $8. Tin finished the morning at $5,740/50 a tonne, against last Friday's $5,730, while alloy was quietly lower at $1,385/90. FRANCUSKI METALI - 30. prosinca 1996.
