Base metals are holding firm despite weak Chinese data, with historically low copper, zinc and aluminum stocks absorbing the macro pressure. Natalie Scott-Gray, StoneX Senior Metals Analyst EMEA & Asia, walks through what is moving the base metals complex in this weekly macroeconomic outlook. The macro picture has turned more mixed, with a firmer message from the Federal Reserve at Jackson Hole and a stronger dollar set against resilient manufacturing in the United States, Germany, India and Japan. China stays the swing factor, where targeted property and liquidity measures sit against weak data. Attention turns to the Golden September, Silver October demand window, Indonesian nickel quotas and Section 232 copper policy.
