The London Metal Exchange operation allows brokers to trade internationally 24-hours a day via three trading platforms; the Ring, LME Select and the Inter-office telephone market. Market Data generated from this trading is streamed directly to distributors live, in real time.
The LME’s products are differentiated by the timing of their delivery. They range from “real time” where end users can receive constant data messages and market reports to “30 minute delayed” data, next day and historical data.
Real time data
The Exchange distributes real time information 24 hours a day via our licensed real-time market data distributors and via LMElive on a subscription basis. These distributors can make this data available to end users for a monthly subscription fee.
Delayed data
We also offer a “30 minute” delayed data service which is also accessible via our licensed delayed market data distributors and direct from the LME via LMElive. This service may be more appropriate to those end users who wish to regularly monitor market activity but not constantly in real time.
Next day data
Next day data (published after midnight UK time) can also be accessed via our market data distributors. This data could suit your requirements if you are more interested in a daily overview of the market activity and is often provided by trade publications and news providers.
