How to Read This Data

On-Warrant Stock

Metal directly claimable against active futures contracts. This is the most liquid form of LME inventory and the focus of most squeeze analysis.

Off-Warrant Stock

Metal stored in LME-approved warehouses but not currently registered against a warrant. Represents potential supply that could re-enter the market.

Depletion Signals

Rapidly falling inventory alongside rising prices signals physical scarcity — a potential squeeze. Watch on-warrant levels closely near delivery dates.
