June 5 (Reuters) - Most nonferrous metals declined on Monday, as a stronger dollar made greenback-priced metals more expensive to holders of other currencies.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange eased 0.2% to $8,217 a tonne by 0245 GMT, aluminium declined 0.9% to $2,243.50 a tonne, nickel shed 2.5% to $20,680 a tonne and zinc fell 1% to $2,282.50 a tonne.
The dollar was firmer against major peers after a robust U.S. jobs report spurred traders to price in higher interest rates for longer.
LME lead eased 0.3% to $2,025 a tonne and tin dropped 1.6% to $25,250 a tonne.
The most-traded July copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was almost flat at 65,900 yuan ($9,280.78) a tonne. SHFE aluminium fell 1.4% to 18,135 yuan a tonne and nickel shed 2.6% to 156,770 yuan a tonne.
SHFE zinc shed 0.8% to 19,080 yuan a tonne, tin fell 1.6% to 206,200 yuan a tonne, lead eased 0.1% to 15,040 yuan a tonne.
