LME: Copper Stocks Rise 15,875t; Tin, Lead, Zinc, Aluminium, Nickel Fall

The divergence is the story: copper building while every other LME metal draws down points to metal-specific flows rather than a broad demand shift, though the exchange offered no explanation for any of the moves. For physical traders and anyone tracking exchange inventories as a demand read, the split between copper and the rest is worth noting. Whether the copper build reflects delivered surplus or routine warehouse reshuffling is the open question, and the absence of detail leaves it unresolved.
