SHANGHAI, Jun 6 (SMM) - The aluminium ingot social inventories across China’s eight major markets totalled 874,000 mt as of June 6, down 8,000 mt from last Thursday. The collateral scandal triggered pandemic-induced cargo pick-up from warehouses last week, with the weekly shipments out of warehouses rising to 188,000 mt, a new high for this year. The overall inventory decline was led by a drop of 20,000 mt in Wuxi. Inventory in Gongyi rose slightly due to arrivals during the Dragon Boat Festival. Inventory in Foshan was little changed as some local warehouses suspended operations in the wake of collateral scandal. Considering that certain amounts of cargoes will arrive in Gongyi this week and next week, the total inventory may fall at a slower pace.

Fed to Keep Large Banks' Capital Levels Unchanged, Postpones Stress Test Reforms Until 2027

The US Fed has announced that it will maintain the capital levels of large banks unchanged during the upcoming stress test cycle (corresponding to the 2026 cycle). At the same time, the US Fed is planning multidimensional reforms to this annual test, aiming to enhance its transparency. The US Fed's Vice Chair for Supervision, Bowman, revealed that adjustments to the stress capital buffer requirements for large banks will be postponed until 2027. This move is intended to provide the US Fed with sufficient time to evaluate potential flaws that may be exposed in its testing models when assessing banks' financial conditions under simulated economic downturn scenarios.
