Base metals mixed in overnight session; copper slips, alumina drops 2.07%
AI take
The split between modest losses in copper, aluminum and nickel and small gains in zinc, lead and tin points to rotation within the base metals complex rather than a single macro driver. Alumina's outsized drop stands apart from that pattern, and since it is a feedstock for aluminum, the divergence between the two is the more interesting signal than the headline copper move. Whether alumina's decline reflects a change in supply expectations or simply thinner liquidity is the open question.
