Base metals were content to hover in familiar ranges, with prices reluctant to stray too far from overnight levels ahead of the release of the latest batch of the US economic data, traders and analysts said. Copper continued to gentle recovery from six-month lows through the morning but still showed little inclination to rally much further than around 1507 dollars a ton basis three month last kerb close. Other LME metals were subdued and movements were minimal.
