LME Copper prices declined 1.2% or $81.5/MT to $6841.0/MT. Aluminium prices fell 0.4% or $7.5/MT to $1714.5/MT.

In the Asian session, at GMT0300, the pair is trading at 0.9264, with the AUD trading 0.21% higher from yesterday’s close, benefited from a 5-month-high-jump in the HSBC PMI index of China, its largest trading partner in May and as Australia’s consumer inflation expectation rose modestly by 4.4% in April.
