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.
