London Metal Exchange ends higher on Friday following upbeat European retail sales data and as
some investors covered short positions ahead of the weekend.
German retail sales posted their biggest yearly rise in 2-1/2 years in December, while sales in
Spain and consumer spending in France was also stronger than expected, lifting European shares.
Prices were also supported after factory growth in China shrank for the first time in more than
two years, fueling hopes for increased stimulus from the world's second biggest economy.
The official Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 49.8 in January, the National Bureau of
Statistics said on Sunday, a low last seen in September 2012 and a whisker below the 50-point level
that separates growth from contraction on a monthly basis.
Also, a private business survey on Monday showed that activity in China's factory sector shrank
for a second month in January. The final HSBC Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to 49.7, a
touch below its 49.8 flash reading, and after dipping to 49.6 in December.
The dollar remained broadly supported as the release of tepid U.S. data failed to dampen
optimism over the strength of the country's economic recovery.
In a report, Bureau of Economic Analysis said U.S. gross domestic product rose 2.6% in the last
quarter of 2014, down from a previous estimate of 3.0% and from a growth rate of 5.0% in the
three months to September.

In the week ahead, investors will be turning their attention to Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls
report for further indications on the strength of the recovery in the labor market.
The Euro ended lower after Eurostat reported that the annual rate of euro zone inflation fell by
0.6% in January, after a 0.2% slip in December.
The downside was limited after euro zone’s unemployment rate ticked down to 11.4% in
December from 11.5% the previous month.
Meanwhile, Greece’s new government said it will not cooperate with the International Monetary
Fund and the European Union and will not seek an extension to its bailout program, underlining
fears over a clash with its international creditors.
The daily inventory data released by the London Metal Exchange (LME) showed a rise in the
inventory levels of Copper and Nickel. Meanwhile, the inventory levels of Aluminium, Zinc and
Lead fell on Friday.
Data from CFTC showed that speculators are bearish on Comex Copper.
Domestic base metals end with gains on MCX on Friday, tracking firm overseas prices.
