NON FERROUS ANALYSIS 4 MARCH 2010. by Gianclaudio Torlizzi

Aluminum prices at the London Metals Exchange (LME) may make up for some of their recent losses and trend up by as much as 5% by the end of March. The market was nearly flat last month, but suffered steep losses in January. Copper, on the other hand, may rise less than our base price trend line suggests, as the red metal already gained considerably in recent trading sessions on the back of supply uncertainties after the Chilean earthquake. Copper gained roughly 6% in London trading last month and started strong into the month of March due to panic buying.
