AFP, London
At the London Metal Exchange, the last remaining 'open outcry" market in Europe, traders shout and gesticulate as normal, but fears of recession has diminished their appetite for risk, dampening prices.
While the prices of zinc, copper and other base metals are fixed at the end of frenetic five-minute sessions in the ring,' situated in the LME's centre, it is a sense of caution which is ultimately prevailing among traders.
"The crisis has changed the mentality in the market, maybe for ever," said a trader who requested anonymity.
"The appetite for risk is not there any more ... trading is much more cautious."
The trader predicted long-lasting changes to trading patterns on the LME, which derives 95 percent of its business from overseas clients.
Banking crisis unlikely to sway ECB interest rate debate
AFP, Frankfurt
The European Central Bank is under pressure from the US banking crisis to mull a cut in its main lending rate, but analysts feel the ECB will see inflation as a reason to hold out a little longer.
The bank's governing council meets here Thursday to determine interest rates for the 15-nation eurozone, and observers widely forecast no change from the present 4.25 percent even though the economy is headed into a heavy downturn.
"The ECB is not oblivious to the worsening economic situation," Bank of America senior economist Holger Schmieding noted last week, but policymakers focus on inflation that reached 3.8 percent in August, and are wary of wage demands that could keep it well above their target of just below2.0 percent..
