The durable goods orders in March fell by 0.8%, better than analysts’ expectation of down 1.5%. The data of manufacturing sectors and real estate market announced by the U.S. were better than expected, stimulating the U.S. stock to rebound. The U.S. dollar against most foreign currencies fell last Friday. As the finance ministers and presidents of central banks from seven industrialized nations will hold meeting in Washington, the investors were nervous about their views on the foreign exchanges reserves. Last Friday, LME base metals prices stabilized and rebounded positively affected by the soft U.S. dollar and U.S. stock rebound.
