LME Copper Closes Up $26 at $14,438/Tonne; Nickel Falls $221
The split is the story: copper, tin and zinc firmed while nickel, aluminium and lead eased, so this reads as rotation within the base metals complex rather than a single macro signal. Nickel's drop stands out against copper's gain, a divergence worth watching given both sit on the same industrial-demand axis. Tin's larger move higher is the other outlier. Whether this dispersion reflects metal-specific positioning or broader risk appetite is the open question.
