LONDON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - The London Metal Exchange (LME) on Thursday noted an expected rise in the share of Russian metal in the stocks in its warehouses, making up 42% of total stocks at 152,841 tonnes but remaining off historical highs. "Furthermore, the LME’s conclusion (based on market feedback) that Russian metal continues to be consumed is supported by data on the outflow of Russian metal from LME warehouses," it said.
