Metals bourse, founded in 1877, reopens in September after member resistance to all-electronic trading
The London Metal Exchange, the last remaining in-person trading floor in Europe, is to reopen on 6 September after its management decided not to permanently close the trading ring, which has been operating since 1877.
The LME’s proposal at the start of 2021 to move to all-electronic trading following the pandemic was opposed by some traders.
