    MELBOURNE, June 16 (Reuters) - London copper edged up on Friday but was still eyeing its biggest weekly drop since early May as markets priced in a higher U.S. interest rate environment that would support the dollar.

    FUNDAMENTALS

    • London Metal Exchange copper CMCU3 rose by half a percent to $5,690 a tonne by 0230 GMT, paring small losses from the previous session. Copper is still down 2.1 percent for the week.
    • Shanghai Futures Exchange copper SCFcv1 was flat at 45,650 yuan ($6,702) a tonne.
    • In other metals, zinc SZNcv1 and nickel SNIcv1 climbed more than 1 percent, trailing steel, after China's government said it was beating its targets for capacity closure.
    • Chinese steel futures rose sharply for a third day in a row on Friday, supported by government efforts to tackle a glut, even as the outlook for demand in the world's top steel consumer may not be too promising, particularly from its property sector.
    • The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week, pointing to shrinking labour market slack that could allow the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again this year despite moderate inflation growth.
    • Mining giant BHP (BHP) on Friday named well regarded Australian packaging executive Ken MacKenzie as its next chairman, handing him the challenge of guiding the company amid calls for change.
    • CME says the New York Mercantile Exchange Inc. and Commodity Exchange Inc. plans to expand the location for the storage and delivery of zinc delivered against the Zinc Futures contract to Europe and Asia.

    • Asian stocks were steady on Friday, appearing to take in stride the resumption of the U.S. technology rout overnight, while the dollar held near a two-week high after solid economic data backed the case for tighter U.S. monetary policy. [MKTS/GLOB]
