[LME Zinc Cancelled Warrants Increased Sharply] On April 2, 2026, LME zinc inventory decreased by 275 mt to 113,950 mt, down 0.24%, but cancelled warrants increased sharply by 26,925 mt, up 301.87%, with the overall cancellation ratio at 23.63%. Warehouse data showed that the increases were mainly concentrated in Singapore and Kaohsiung. Current overall zinc inventory remained at a relatively low level, and with LME Cash-3M maintaining a mild contango structure, attention should be paid to subsequent actual inventory changes and structural risks.
