The news of the ending of strike at CVRD-Inco's
Sudbury nickel operations failed
to deter the bulls from taking the three-month LME prices to a new lifetime high of $48,700.
The metal closed above its
previous high of $48,500 at $48,590 with a solid gain of $2,990. A draw of 66 tonne at LME warehouses boosted the bullish sentiments further. The
LME stock flows resulted in a marginally
improved cancelled ratio which rose to 37.05%
from 36.47%
earlier.
