China's import of base metals in aug were mostly down

NEW$-China's import of base metals in August were mostly
down on the level recorded in July but above the level
of a year earlier. In large part, the decline in base metal
imports in August reflects the very strong level of imports
in earlier months, which may have contributed to stock
builds for a number of the metals. China's refined copper
imports fell by almost 25% in the month of August from
July. China's primary aluminium imports in August were
down by 11% from July. WEAK FOR COPPER AND CRUDEOIL

Lead Prices - China

Lead prices are slumping as the speculative community makes a swift exit from the market, but brokers say the sell-off was long overdue because the recent strength, based on Chinese supply concerns, was creating a bubble.

China is well supplied with the metal, meaning the impact of the closures is more or less contained. According to recent customs data, China imported six times more unwrought lead in the first seven months of 2009, compared with the same period of 2008. In the same period, its lead production rose 19.4% to more than 2 million tons
