LME base metal prices largely closed with gains overnight, as market sentiment was boosted on possible Spanish bailout hope. The Spanish government is preparing to ask for financial aid from the ECB. Although market has low expectation over the EU summit to be held on Thursday and Friday, any progress of the Spanish debt crisis is still possible. Meanwhile, Germany officials also expressed stronger willingness to help Greece. In addition, according to data from ZEW, Germany's economic sentiment for September rebounded the second consecutive month, better than market expectation, despite that the index was still not optimistic. Generally speaking, possibility for Spain to ask for financial aid is high and the Greece may likely to receive bailout as well, which greatly boosted risk appetite.
