Copper Slides as LME Drops 2%, New York Falls 3.5%

The divergence matters more than the headline drop: New York falling nearly twice as much as London points to region-specific pressure rather than a uniform global repricing. That gap is where the real signal sits, since copper is a key industrial input and a widening transatlantic spread can reflect shifting regional demand or positioning. Whether the two benchmarks converge again, or the spread persists, is the open question worth tracking.
