The London Metal Exchange (LME) zinc inventory has seen a notable decrease, falling by 200 tonnes to reach 50,825 tonnes as of September 10, 2025. This marks a cumulative decrease of 4,400 tonnes over the past week, equating to a 7.97% drop. Over the past month, the inventory has decreased by 29,600 tonnes, representing a 36.80% reduction [1].Historically, the LME zinc inventory has fluctuated between a high of 278,850 tonnes on September 12, 2022, and a low of 15,600 tonnes. The average inventory level stands at 149,253.496 tonnes. As of the current date, the inventory is 19.366% lower than the average [1].
The decrease in inventory is attributed to several factors. Weak demand signals from China, the world’s top consumer, have been weighing on sentiment. Concerns over slowing Chinese industrial activity continue to cloud the demand outlook. However, losses were capped on expectations of possible production cuts by Chinese miners and refiners, aligning with earlier moves from global producers. For instance, Teck Resources’ Red Dog mine reported a 20% drop in Q1 output, while Nyrstar announced a 25% annual cut, tightening supply fundamentals [1].
On the inventory front, LME zinc stocks have dropped sharply by 130,000 tonnes since the beginning of the year, now at just 42,000 tonnes, signaling tighter global availability. In contrast, Shanghai Futures Exchange inventories rose 1.3% last week, reflecting short-term domestic supply additions [1].
Technically, zinc is under long liquidation as open interest fell 2.24% to 3,672 lots alongside a 1.95 price decline. Support lies at 272.1 and further at 270.7, while resistance is seen at 275.1 and then 276.7 [1].
