LONDON, October 10: The London Metal Exchange (LME) copper hit a record high of US$3,939.50 per ton in Asia on Monday. Traders said that despite technical indications that the market is overheating, prices are expected to continue to rise to US$4,000.


Investment funds are still the main promoters of the copper market. Copper prices have risen by about 25% this year.


The LME trader Triland Metals stated in its daily report, “The current momentum appears to be pushing up the period price to US$3,950, then 4,000.”


At 0647 GMT, the three-month copper was at $3,930/35 per tonne, which was $15 higher than the closing price of Friday's evening session.


Aluminum is expected to consolidate above $1,900/ton, after breaking above this psychological target on Friday and rising to a six-week high.


Resistance may be at 1,915/1,920 U.S. dollars, but given the recent tightening of the contract, the price may rise further to 1,940.


Three-month aluminum reported 1,908/13 US dollars per ton, up 1 dollar.
