LME copper stocks fall 3,750t, zinc rises 3,225t

The split matters more than either headline number: copper draws alongside lead and nickel declines, while zinc builds. That divergence points to uneven physical demand rather than a single macro metals story, and it complicates any read that treats LME stocks as one directional signal. Whether copper's draw continues against zinc's build is the open question worth tracking in the next data release.
