Oct 13 (Reuters) - London copper prices advanced on Friday as a softer dollar made greenback-priced metals cheaper to holders of other currencies, but were on track for a weekly decline.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) advanced 0.1% to $7,999 per metric ton by 0515 GMT. However, on a weekly basis, the contract eased 0.6%, set for the second straight week of decline.

The dollar index dipped on Friday, having jumped in the previous session on stronger-than-expected U.S. consumer inflation which revived prospects that the Federal Reserve will have to keep rates higher for longer.

Copper prices were pressured by rising inventories in LME-registered warehouses, which climbed to 181,150 tons, the highest since October 2021.

"Higher-for-longer interest rate narrative and consequent slower economic growth concerns are keeping industrial metals prices on a weaker footing," said analyst Soni Kumari at ANZ.

"While the reports of additional fiscal stimulus in China were well received by the market, concerns around property markets are lingering," she said, adding that LME stockpiles and improvement in mine supply from South America also weighed.

The most-traded November copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) eased 0.4% to 66,460 yuan ($9,096.63) a ton, also set for a weekly fall.

LME aluminium advanced 0.1% to $2,201.50 a ton, nickel rose 0.1% to $18,750, zinc increased 0.1% to $2,451.50, lead was up 0.8% at $2,070.50, and tin climbed 0.8% to $25,000.

SHFE aluminium fell 0.8% to 18,950 yuan a ton, zinc shed 0.6% to 21,155 yuan, lead declined 0.6% to 16,275 yuan, while nickel rose 1% to 151,530 yuan and tin increased 0.4% to 213,460 yuan.
