LME copper closed down $76 at $13,768 a tonne, with the metal on course for its largest weekly decline since March. Zinc fell $82 to $3,711/t and lead slipped $8 to $1,886/t, while aluminium eased $2 to $3,062/t. Tin bucked the trend, jumping $988 to $46,467/t, and nickel added $31 to $16,353/t; cobalt was unchanged at $33,525/t.

AI take

The breadth of the move matters more than copper's single-day decline: zinc's sharper drop alongside copper points to a broader industrial-metals repricing rather than a copper-specific story, which matters for anyone tracking base metals as a growth signal. Tin's outsized gain against that backdrop suggests supply-specific dynamics are overriding macro sentiment in pockets of the complex. Whether the weekly decline extends into the next session, and whether tin's divergence holds, are the open questions.
