Export and Import Levels
Monday Market Monitor - Metals - WEEK 35 - On the roll again - 06 Sep, 2010
After loosing severely in the previous week, base metals at LME surged after payroll data in the US eased concern that the economic recovery is faltering although tepid US service sector data cooled a market on weekend.

Base metal prices got an early boost from a report that US non farm payrolls fell 54,000 in August, much less severe than the 100,000 job losses analysts had forecast. Also, there were 123,000 fewer jobs lost in June and July than previously reported.

The US dollar fell against the euro as economic reports boosted appetite for riskier assets, also supporting base metal prices last week.

But the rally fizzled a bit when data showed the Institute for Supply Management's index measuring US non manufacturing sector grew less than expected in August.
