| Monday Market Monitor - Metals (WEEK 05) - Down on currency woes - 08 Feb, 2010 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Base metal prices, except nickel, continue to plunge last week as growing concerns over the euro zone's fiscal health and tighter monetary policy in top consumer China drove investors away into the safety of the US dollar. The euro plunged to a more than eight month low against the dollar on concerns over the fiscal health of debt laden countries such as Greece, Portugal and Spain. A rising US currency makes commodities priced in dollars more expensive for holders of other currencies. Analysts said Chinese business conditions could further slow with the onset of the New Year holiday, set to begin on February 14th 2010. Mr Justin Lennon analyst with Mitsui Bussan Inc said “Combined with the fact that China's cash flows are being constrained through bank credit restrictions, they are probably also seeking to hold their cash flows in because it's the end of their year.” London Metal Exchange Rates Cash Buyer
