Base Metals

BGC is a leading non-proprietary, inter-dealer broker (IDB) for base metals traded on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and CME/Nymex. By offering clients an execution-only service, we can source competitive quotes from across the market and provide a high degree of anonymity. We provide traditional voice brokerage services, as well as direct market access (DMA) screens to our clients.

Challenges Ahead for Industrial Metals

The slowdown of the Chinese economy, global trade tensions and increased environmental scrutiny of mining companies are notable headwinds for base metals. However, the growth of new technology like batteries for electric vehicles will help to add demand in the long-term.
