• 以现金结算的钼合约取代LME现有的实物结算产品，并引入现金结算的钴合约；
• 入围LME 锂合约的指数提供商已提交了他们的提案，LME将在未来几个月做出最终选择。

        该系列新产品的推出旨在增强LME现有产品并扩展到相邻市场。“我们很高兴地宣布我们新的现金结算期货产品的指数提供商，这是我们实施新产品战略的下一步，也是我们承诺提供更多用户选择的重要部分。新合同的引入是LME战略上重要的增长动力。”LME集团市场开发主管Robin Martin说，“我们相信这些新的现金结算合同将补充我们现有的产品，更简单的结算机制将有助于降低进入市场的门槛。这将吸引新的参与者进入市场，他们可以从利用LME套期保值中获益，从而更好地管理金属现货市场的价格风险。”

LME progresses new product plans as price providers are announced

• Additional ferrous products to build on success of scrap and rebar contracts
• Basket methodology approach for pricing of LME Alumina contract to better match the pricing dynamics of the physical alumina market, and a user choice model for aluminium premiums
• Cash-settled molybdenum contract replacing the LME’s existing physically settled offering, and introduction of a complementary cash-settled cobalt contract
• Shortlisted index providers for LME Lithium contract have presented their proposals, and a final decision will be made by the LME in the coming months

The London Metal Exchange (LME) today announces the index price providers for its seven new cash-settled futures products due to launch on 11 March 2019, and provides an update on its lithium contract which is expected to launch in Q4 2019.

The suite of new products has been designed to enhance the LME’s existing offering and to expand into adjacent markets. “We are delighted to announce the index providers for our new cash-settled futures products, which is the next step in delivering our new products strategy and an important part of our commitment to deliver greater user choice. The introduction of new contracts is a strategically important growth driver for the LME,” says Robin Martin, Head of Market Development for the LME Group. “We believe that these new cash-settled contracts will complement our existing product offering and the simpler settlement mechanism will help lower barriers to market entry. This will attract new players to the market who can benefit from using LME hedging to better manage their price risk in the physical metals market.”
