The share of Russian aluminium stocks on the London Metal Exchange-approved warehouses continued to increase in July 2024, accounting for 65 per cent of the total stocks. In June, the share of stocks of Russian origin on the London Metal Exchange was 50 per cent after rising from 42 per cent in May.
However, it is to be noted that the total aluminium stocks on LME have been decreasing month-on-month. In July, the total stocks amounted to 359,250 tonnes, down by 22.99 per cent from 466,500 tonnes in June, whereas the stocks in May were at 590,975 tonnes.
Of the total stocks in July, Russian aluminium stocks on the LME warrant were 233,775 tonnes, up by 1,425 tonnes from 232,350 tonnes in June. The increasing proportion of Russian aluminium stocks in LME-approved warehouses results from the impactful sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russian aluminium.
