The London Metal Exchange and Aluminum Price Risk Management

The London Metal Exchange, or the LME, is 140 years old this year but buyers and sellers of metals met in a “ring” 200 years earlier trading metals almost the same way they do today. In this episode, Andrew Dodsworth, Head of Market Operations and Interim COO for the LME and Del Miller, Treasurer and Vice President of Commodity Risk Management for Kaiser Aluminum, discuss the origins of metals trading, specifically aluminum, and the tools producers and consumers can use to manage the risks associated with price volatility.
