隨著價格提供商的公布，倫敦金屬交易所發布了新的產品計劃。

• 在成功推出廢鋼和螺紋鋼合約的基礎上，增加其他黑色金屬產品；
• LME氧化鋁合約將采用籃子定價法來計價，以更好地匹配氧化鋁現貨市場的動態定價，客戶可以選擇基于此計算鋁的溢價；
• 以現金結算的鉬合約取代LME現有的實物結算產品，并引入現金結算的鈷合約；
• 入圍LME 鋰合約的指數提供商已提交了他們的提案，LME將在未來幾個月做出最終選擇。

        倫敦金屬交易所（英文簡稱“LME")在1月17日宣布，將于2019年3月11日推出七種新的現金結算期貨產品及其指數價格供應商，并介紹了鋰合約的最新情況，該合約預計將于2019年第四季度推出。

        該系列新產品的推出旨在增強LME現有產品并擴展到相鄰市場。“我們很高興地宣布我們新的現金結算期貨產品的指數提供商，這是我們實施新產品戰略的下一步，也是我們承諾提供更多用戶選擇的重要部分。新合同的引入是LME戰略上重要的增長動力。”LME集團市場開發主管Robin Martin說，“我們相信這些新的現金結算合同將補充我們現有的產品，更簡單的結算機制將有助于降低進入市場的門檻。這將吸引新的參與者進入市場，他們可以從利用LME套期保值中獲益，從而更好地管理金屬現貨市場的價格風險。”

        簡介：香港交易所集團旗下的倫敦金屬交易所（LME）擁有超過140年的大宗商品交易管理經驗，是工業金屬的全球交易中心。

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.”
