Copper Leads Base Metals Lower in Overnight Trading; Tin, Zinc Also Drop

The breadth of the decline matters more than copper's headline move: six of the eight Shanghai contracts fell together, with zinc and tin losing more than copper itself, which points to a broad base-metals repricing rather than a copper-specific story. Lead's marginal gain stands out as the lone exception, suggesting the selling was not uniform across the complex. Whether that divergence persists, or lead is simply lagging the rest, is the open question to watch in the next session.
