BEIJING, May 12 (Reuters) - London copper climbed on Friday but prices were set for their biggest weekly drop since November, as gloomy global economic performance darkened metals demand outlook, against rising supplies.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange bounced up 1.1% to $8,250.50 a tonne by 0740 GMT, having touched a five-month low in the previous session.

Still, the contract has lost 3.8% so far this week, its biggest weekly drop since last November.

The most-traded June copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell 2.6% to a four-month low at 64,610 yuan ($9,347.38) a tonne.

China's industrial metals consumption has remained subdued in the second quarter, which is traditionally a peak demand season, due to a slow economic recovery and sluggish export market.

A slew of downbeat data this week suggested a sluggish economic recovery in the world's second largest economy, exacerbating concerns over metal demand outlook, amid rising supplies of the metal.

Production at 22 smelters surveyed by Antaike, with a total capacity of 11.12 million tonnes, totalled 886,700 tonnes last month, up 18.5% from a year ago.

Copper inventories in LME warehouses climbed to a near two-month high on Thursday.

A risk-off tone across markets sparked by weak economic data weighed on sentiment across the complex, exacerbated by a stronger USD, which dented investor appetite, analysts at ANZ said in a research note.

The U.S. dollar was clinging close to a more than one week peak on Friday, as data pointed to a slowing U.S. economy, with investors betting that the Federal Reserve would further pause its interest rate increases.

LME aluminium gained 0.6% to $2,224 a tonne, nickel climbed 1.4% to $22,075, while lead slid 0.5% to $2,098, tin shed 2.2% to $24,750 and tin declined 2.3% to $24,730.

SHFE aluminium fell 1.6% to 17,870 yuan a tonne, zinc lost 2.4% to 20,650 yuan, lead eased 0.4% to 15,230 yuan, while nickel slid 1.9% to 168,910 yuan, and tin dropped 4.5% to 197,130 yuan.
