LME: Los Angeles is no longer designated as the delivery location for the London Metal Exchange.
January 15, 2026
On January 12th, the London Metal Exchange (LME) issued a notice stating that as per the convention of the LME, if there are no more exchange-certified storage facilities in a certain region, that region should be removed from the list of delivery locations. Los Angeles was previously listed as the delivery location for electrolytic aluminum, North American special aluminum alloys (NASAAC), nickel, lead, tin, and super high zinc. Currently, there are no exchange-certified storage facilities in that area, so it has been officially removed from the list of delivery locations of the LME as of today.
