LME zinc stocks rise 475t; copper, lead, tin fall; nickel, aluminium flat

The scale here is modest, and the flat nickel and aluminium books are as telling as the moves in zinc, copper, lead and tin — this reads as routine daily warehouse churn rather than a directional signal. The copper drawdown is the largest single change in the set, but without volumes or context it is hard to treat as meaningful. Whether these flows persist across subsequent sessions, or reverse, is the open question for anyone tracking LME stock dynamics.
