Copper fell as investors remained concerned about the global economy despite
Donald Trump signaling progress in Iran talks by pausing planned strikes. After
briefly rising, prices retreated amid uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz and
inflation risks. Copper, which hit a record close last week on AI and
clean-energy optimism, fell as much as 0.6% to $13,507 a ton. Aluminum, zinc and
nickel also declined.
