Copper Rises 0.04% in Night Trading; Aluminum Falls 0.98%

The dispersion here is the story: copper's marginal gain sits alongside sharper losses in aluminum, lead and tin, suggesting the session was driven by metal-specific positioning rather than a single macro signal. Aluminum's near-1% decline stands out as the clearest divergence from copper's flat-to-positive tone, and the softness across lead, tin and stainless steel hints at weaker sentiment in the industrial complex outside the copper chain. Whether that copper-versus-aluminum spread persists into the next session is the open question worth tracking.
