Copper Rises in Night Session; Nickel Tumbles 2.47%
AI take
The divergence within the base metals complex is the real signal here: nickel's sharp drop alongside stainless steel's decline points to weakness in the nickel-stainless chain specifically, rather than broad macro pressure, since copper, aluminum and zinc all held modest gains. That split matters for anyone tracking industrial demand signals, as it suggests the softness is sectoral rather than economy-wide. Whether nickel and stainless steel continue to decouple from the rest of the complex is the open question.
