Base metal prices are expected to lack the rising momentum this week, Shanghai Metals Market foresees.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 9 (SMM) – Base metal prices are expected to lack the rising momentum this week, Shanghai Metals Market foresees.

“A rebound is possible in base metal market after recent sharp losses, but a stronger dollar, and overall unfavorable macro-front news will give little support to prices,” SMM points.

A slew of economic data will be released this week from China and Europe, including CPI, PPI and GDP results.
