SHANGHAI, Feb. 24 (SMM) – Base metal prices are expected to look for support after falling back on Wednesday, Shanghai Metals Market foresees. 

"Price lost rising momentum as expected, but any downward room will be small, and some products will continue to outperform others," SMM says. 

Oil price slumped with rising inventories, and this will be a negative factor on today’s price, SMM adds.
