Example historical data request
For example, a request for official prices and volumes for 4 metals for 1999 to 2003 will cost;
2 data types x 4 metals x 5 years = 40 items
Therefore, price charged will be (£40 x 5 items) + (£25 x 35 items) = £1075
There is a maximum charge of £20,000 per request and customers will be asked to pay by credit/debit card or bank transfer before the data is compiled and dispatched by the LME.
