Reuters exclusively
reports banks prepare
to scrap LME gold and
silver contracts
Reuters exclusively reported that a group of banks that
partnered with the London Metal Exchange (LME) to
launch gold and silver futures in 2017 is preparing to
abandon the project after hoped-for volumes did not
materialize. Such a move would end an attempt by
the LME, which dominates industrial metals trading,
to capture part of London’s bullion market, which is
the world’s largest with gold worth some $17 trillion
changing hands last year.

Russian Gold Exchange
Announced Plans to Boost
Gold Trading
Further to announcing closer partnership with the London
Metal Exchange (LME), the Moscow Exchange now plans to
provide further boost to its gold trading activities.
The recent association with the LME allows participants to
trade spot gold at London prices by using its own clearing
systems, thus making trading easier. The exchange plans to
enter into a similar partnership with Shanghai Gold Exchange,
which it expects to be finalized possibly by next year.
