Monday Market Monitor - Metals - WEEK 11 - Bullish despite Chinese threat - 22 Mar, 2010
Base metal prices remained on positive trend last week despite pressure from a stronger dollar and fears that potential further monetary tightening in China could cap demand of metals.

The euro weakened against the dollar as uncertainty grew over a resolution to Greece's debt problems and the US dollar moved up.

Fears of further moves by China to tighten credit have contributed to jitters in equity and commodity markets across the globe.

Sparking expectations for brighter demand prospects outside China was US data showing a gradual improvement in the labor market, where the number of workers filing new jobless claims fell slightly last week.
