The broker, who represents us at the London Metal Exchange (LME), having assessed market trends, variations of the demand structure, production, international trade, and existing prices, forecasts a considerable growth of world demand on non-ferrous metals in the near future. South-East Asian countries get economically stable very quickly and add to number growth of future contracts in metals. Beside, the EU countries are also expected to consume more metals in future.
 We make it our responsibility, to start your metal-trading business on the London Metal Exchange. We provide you with a broker who specializes in your particular product type.
The London Metal Exchange represents a major market for non-ferrous metals worldwide. In spite of the fact that metals are mostly traded through direct sale and delivery agreements or via intermediaries, metal pricing is fixed within the framework of a long-term agreement or is linked to the LME quotations.
The LME makes an unusual type of exchange as it allows both physical market (the market of actual goods) and futures’ and options’ market to coexist on the same trading floor. The LME is not a traditional futures’ exchange, it offers also forward contracts - contracts similar to the futures in their essence.
The London Metal Exchange Company was formed in 1877 with the advent of the Industrial Revolution with a task to trade metals. The Exchange numbers about 100 members, which are to 90% and more wholly or partly foreign-owned.
The LME trading day has not change greatly since the company has started. Only members of the Ring are allowed to trade on the LME floor. Originally direct outcry trading was held around a chalk-drawn ring on the floor. Today traders sit in the 36 red leather arm-chairs making a ring, the arm-chairs a little bit buried in the floor, so that everybody see each other. This arm-chair position provides for equal opportunities during the LME trading sessions. Clients give their orders through broker members onto the trading floor. Modern telecommunications allow the LME serve as a 24-hour market, where members and associated members can deal any time of day and night.
The LME is a most amazing commodity exchange of derivatives. Its way of dealing with forward contracts and options differs greatly from ways of other commodity exchanges.
 Official prices formed at the LME become the settlement prices for contracts of the business day and are used by sellers and buyers to define prices on long-term contracts. They are also used by LCH.Clearnet (London Clearing House) to calculate daily margin requirements. Cash seller prices are also announced and represent a price of demand on a cash contract.
Morning trade sessions are of special interest for exchanges in the Asian time zones, such as Shanghai Metal Exchange and others. Clients from the USA, interested in COMEX prices in New York City, follow up afternoon sessions of the LME. Thus, LME provides for prices discovery worldwide.
Metals traded at the LME comply with quality standards of a standard LME contract. They are held in stocks in the warehouses at selected locations around the world, mostly at the seaports in Europe and on the US Eastern and Western coasts (potential consumers take into account transportation costs to the point of delivery). The difference between the official LME prices and prices at other points of trade is thus explained.
