 Non-ferrous metals
The London Metal Exchange is the world’s premier non-ferrous metals market. It offers futures and options contracts for aluminium, copper, nickel, tin, zinc and lead plus two regional aluminium alloy contracts. The LME also offers LMEminis, which are smaller-sized contracts for copper, aluminium and zinc.
 Plastics
In 2005 the Exchange launched the world’s first futures contracts for plastics; for polypropylene and linear low density polyethylene, with the introduction of regional plastics contracts in 2007.
 Steel
In June 2007, the Exchange confirmed that it will, in April 2008, commence futures trading in Steel Billet. There will be two contracts; one for the Mediterranean and one for the Far East.
