Market surveillance

The role of market surveillance
The role of market surveillance is to protect the integrity of the LME's markets by monitoring that trading is fair and transparent.  Market surveillance staff analyse confidential data relating to members' large futures, options and warrant positions as electronically reported by members each day.  The information is analysed in conjunction with data on underlying trends in supply and demand and on traded prices in order to detect any potential tightness and anomalies in the market.  The staff also ensure that registration and matching of trades takes place within time frames prescribed by the LME.  It monitors intra-day trading activities through the LME matching system in close liaison with the London Clearing House.
