Copper and other industrial metals fell due to hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate remarks and weak Chinese economic data, sparking a broad market selloff. Copper dropped 1% to $10,848 per metric ton, despite a weekly gain of 1.2%. The selloff was compounded by China's weak factory output and retail sales, pressuring policymakers. Other metals like aluminium, zinc, nickel, tin, and lead also declined.

The London Metal Exchange (LME) zinc market is experiencing significant volatility, with time-spreads reaching record levels due to dwindling exchange stocks. Current LME zinc stocks have plummeted to just 35,300 metric tons, insufficient to meet daily global consumption. Despite a projected supply surplus in the future, immediate demand is outpacing supply, leading to a cash premium over three-month metal soaring to over $300 per ton. The situation is exacerbated by reduced production outside of China, where smelters are shutting down, creating a tight market for short position holders.

Shanghai copper prices fell 0.13% to 85,420 yuan ($11,992.14) per metric ton due to weak demand amid high prices and a strong dollar. This decline follows two sessions of gains driven by strong industrial production and easing trade tensions. A stronger U.S. dollar has pressured copper prices, making them more expensive for buyers using other currencies. Despite the drop, supply shortages from mine disruptions are limiting further declines. Other base metals on the Shanghai Futures Exchange showed mixed performance, with aluminium and zinc gaining.
