LME Exec Speaking at BIR Non-Ferrous Division Meeting

Martin Abbott, the chief executive of the London Metal Exchange, will be giving a guest presentation at the plenary session of the BIR Non Ferrous Metals Division June 3 during the association’s spring meeting in Monte Carlo.

It is the first time that Abbott will be speaking at a BIR Convention, and his comments on the LME as the world’s foremost metals exchange as well as his analysis of the markets promise to be of highly topical value.

Previous to his position with LME he was president and publisher, AMM LLC and publisher and editor-in-chief, Metals, Minerals and Mining Division of Metal Bulletin PLC. He also worked for LME ring-dealing members AMT and Sogemin and spent 3 years with the LME from 1990 to 1993.

During the plenary session of the Non-Ferrous Metals Division, there will also be a round-table discussion involving major consumers from various parts of the world to assess the major changes that affected their business. A separate press release will inform you of the composition of the panel.
