Different from other exchanges, the LME three-month futures contract is a continuous contract, so it is delivered every day. LME has set a lower limit for discounts in spot copper. The spot discount for March copper should not be less than $30. On the contrary, the spot premium can be unlimited. In addition, LME has no price limit.
Trading Grade A copper includes both on-site price and off-site price, so it is called synthesis. Generally speaking, these two prices can be called bidding disk and electronic disk. The bidding is conducted in LME, and the daily trade will be divided into six time periods, and the six time periods will be combined into one price, which is the price of 3 London copper we see. When there is no trading in the venue, there will be electronic disks to continue trading, so there will be a second difference: 3 comprehensive trading is all day, and 3 London Copper will have trading time restrictions.
