LME copper falls $189 to $13,399/tonne; nickel down $241
The breadth of the decline across copper, nickel and aluminium, set against gains in tin and lead, points to rotation rather than a uniform risk-off move in industrial metals. Copper's drop carries the most weight given its role as a growth barometer, and the split between falling base metals and firmer tin and lead is the detail worth noting. Whether this divergence persists or converges into a broader move is the open question.
