The retreat suggests investors are taking a more cautious stance toward near‑term industrial demand prospects.
Market liquidity remains steady, with buying interest emerging near technical support levels. Broader sentiment in the base metals complex is influenced by shifting expectations for economic growth and potential policy responses in major consuming regions. Traders continue to monitor inventory dynamics and exchange stock levels for further direction.
Key Drivers:
• Cyclical uncertainty in global manufacturing and construction sectors weighs on sentiment.
• Technical trading patterns and position adjustments add to intraday pressure on prices.
