- LMEmini Market Open Interest (MOI) - A calculation produced by the LME that represents the open interest of both LME members and their clients. The calculations are based on both open exchange positions and open client positions for a particular prompt date as reported to the LME.
- LMEmini Exchange Open Interest (EOI) - A calculation produced by LCH.Clearnet representing its exposures to clearing members. The calculations are based on registered contracts between LME clearing members only. This means that Exchange Open Interest does not take into account the positions of any clients and non-clearing LME members.
- LMEmini Futures Banding, Warrant Tom and Warrant Cash reports daily provide anonymous details of futures positions held by LME members and customers. It is reported two business days in arrears. Each group’s position (netted across all brokers) on all of the three subject prompt dates is measured against the open interest figure for that date. If the group’s net position is big enough as a percentage of the open interest figure for that date, it is reported in the respective band.
