In October 2023, the proportion of aluminium stocks with Russian origins in London Metal Exchange-registered (LME) warehouses increased to 79.5 per cent, up from 76 per cent in September 2023, according to data published on the exchange's website, as reported by a world’s largest news media agency.

The aggregate quantity of aluminium stocks accessible to the market within LME-registered warehouses, denoted by MALSTX-TOTAL, is commonly known as on-warrant. Warrants are official documents that convey ownership rights to the metal.

The significant presence of Russian-origin metal in LME-registered stocks has raised concerns among certain producers in competition with Russian aluminium giant Rusal. Additionally, some Western consumers are avoiding Russian metal due to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
