Further, uncertainty about the impact of an investigation into metal financing at China's third-largest port and worries over LME warehouse court case may lead to the delay in outflows of stock in the market may prove as negative factors for the prices. Whereas, strong Economic data from Europe and China and ECB decision to cut interest rates to boost economic growth fuelled the expectations that the demand for base metal may in range bound.
