Indian aluminium rises while Russian share falls in LME warehouses – what’s driving the shift in June 2025?
Primary aluminium inventories registered with the London Metal Exchange (LME) continued to rise in June, reaching 338,000 tonnes, up from 321,850 tonnes in May and 250,875 tonnes in April. This steady increase in stock levels was largely driven by a significant surge in Indian-origin aluminium entering LME warehouses.
