Russian aluminium accounts for nearly 100% of available LME stocks in September
Russian-origin aluminium accounted for 99.98 per cent of available aluminium stocks in London Metal Exchange (LME) warehouses at the end of September, up from 95 per cent in August, as Indian metal stocks dwindled to just 50 tonnes. The figures, released by the exchange on Wednesday, highlight the limited choice of aluminium available for delivery through the LME warehouse system.

According to Citi, accelerating supply growth outside China could shift the global aluminium market from a deficit of...
