LME copper closes down $88 at $14,490/t; tin drops $1,321
Tin's outsized decline stands out against a session where every base metal except cobalt moved lower, a sign the selling was concentrated rather than uniform. That distinction matters for anyone tracking the industrial-metals complex, since a broad macro move and a single-metal repricing carry different implications. Whether tin's weakness reflects its own supply-demand story or simply thinner liquidity amplifying the risk-off tone is the open question.
