TREE NEWS reports: The London Metal Exchange reported declines across most of its base metals inventories. Lead stocks fell 3,025 tonnes, zinc dropped 2,125 tonnes and copper slipped 1,625 tonnes, while tin fell 135 tonnes and aluminium edged down 75 tonnes. Nickel was the only gainer, rising 102 tonnes.
LME stocks: lead down 3,025t, zinc down 2,125t, copper down 1,625t
AI take
The near-uniform drawdown matters less for its size than for its breadth: most LME base metals are seeing stock declines at once, with nickel the lone exception. That pattern speaks to steady physical offtake rather than a single-metal story, and it tightens the visible buffer available to the market. Whether nickel's build is a one-off or the start of a divergence is the open question worth watching.
