  • Vitol is focusing on reducing its storage costs by withdrawing large quantities of aluminium from LME warehouses in Port Klang, Malaysia.
  • The current storage fee in LME approved warehouses is approximately 56 U.S. cents per metric ton, significantly higher than alternative storage options.
  • Vitol's decision aligns with its strategy to enhance its footprint in global metals markets after a hiatus ending in 2014.
  • Recent reports indicate that cancelled aluminium warrants at LME in Port Klang surged, with more than 40,000 metric tons attributed to Vitol in one day.
  • The move comes amid heightened attention on aluminium sourcing, particularly as Western markets pivot away from Russian metal post-invasion of Ukraine.
