Why it matters
The move puts the LME's three-month copper contract under a closely watched round-number level, which may draw attention to how the market behaves around that threshold.
Because copper is widely used in construction, power and manufacturing, a drop of this size in the benchmark contract can shape sentiment toward industrial-demand expectations, though the source material does not specify a cause for the decline.
