BEIJING, May 15 (Reuters) -London copper climbed on Wednesday on a weaker U.S. dollar as traders awaited a key U.S. inflation report for clues on the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange CMCU3 was up 0.3% at $10,144 per metric ton by 0203 GMT, while the most-traded June copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange SCFcv1 shed 0.4% to 81,510 yuan ($11,267.00) a ton.

The dollar traded near a one-month low versus the euro on Wednesday amid lower Treasury yields. A weaker dollar makes it cheaper to buy the greenback-priced commodity.

Elsewhere, U.S. copper prices on the CME hit a record peak on Tuesday, fuelled by robust demand in the United States and fund buying.

LME aluminium CMAL3 edged 0.1% lower at $2,549.50 a ton, tin CMSN3 climbed 0.4% to $33,500, nickel CMNI3 gained 0.1% to $19,095, zinc CMZN3 moved 0.1% higher to $3,006.50 and lead CMPB3 rose 0.7% to $2,275.

SHFE aluminium SAFcv1 declined 0.6% to 20,495 yuan a ton, zinc SZNcv1 dipped 0.2% to 23,755 yuan, nickel SNIcv1 slid 0.2% at 144,110 yuan, while lead SPBcv1 advanced 1.9% to 18,670 yuan and tin SSNcv1 rose 1.1% to 272,960 yuan.
