China Copper Supply at 10-Year Low on Lockdown Snarls: Chart

After a sharp build-up early this year, China’s copper supply is shrinking rapidly as the government’s zero-Covid policy disrupts supply chains.

It is usual for stocks to dwindle at this time of the year, but the build-up ended earlier than usual and stocks have now plunged to a 10-year low for the period.

Stocks of copper in Chinese warehouses are shrinking rapidly across all locations following a top-up in supply at the start of 2022.
