TREE NEWS reports: The Shanghai Futures Exchange reported weekly declines in most base metal inventories, with copper stocks falling 19,606 tonnes, aluminium down 24,114 tonnes, lead down 23,761 tonnes, zinc down 6,870 tonnes, nickel down 1,160 tonnes and tin down 814 tonnes. Natural rubber inventories rose 2,732 tonnes over the same week.
SHFE weekly inventories: copper down 19,606t, aluminium down 24,114t
AI take
Broad, simultaneous drawdowns across six SHFE base metals point to a demand or supply dynamic affecting the complex as a whole rather than a single-metal story, which makes the uniformity more notable than any individual figure. The contrast with natural rubber's build suggests the tightness is industrial-metals specific rather than a general inventory cycle. Whether these declines reflect genuine consumption or stock relocation is the open question, and next week's print will show if the drawdown is sustained or a one-off.
