U.S.
President Joe Biden and House Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy will meet to discuss the debt ceiling later in the day, less than two weeks before the June 1 deadline after which Treasury expects the federal government will struggle to pay its debts.

LME aluminium was down 1.1% at $2,257.50 a tonne, zinc declined 1.7% to $2,436 a tonne, tin shed 1.4% to $25,105 a tonne, nickel 0.9% to $21,095 a tonne and lead decreased 0.4% to $2,085 a tonne.
