Remitop Submits Complaint Letter to the London Metal Exchange on Nickel Contract Cancellations

On June 8, 2022, Remitop submitted a complaint to the London Metal Exchange (LME) on their recent suspension of trading on its Nickel market and subsequent cancellation of Nickel contracts. Remitop believes that the LME failed to perform its regulatory functions, and although the LME’s independent review of events in the Nickel market leading to the suspension is welcomed, Remitop believes that there are a number of factors concerning the impact of LME’s actions on the market participants that must be addressed to ensure that Remitop members and other market participants can continue to engage in LME markets with confidence.
