Wholesale trade of gold and silver bullion market in London is done through the London Bullion Market Association, abbreviated as LBMA. It was founded in 1987, in order to regulate the traditional bullion market of London, in collaboration with The Bank of England. Currently, it works with Financial Services Authority, which is the primary regulator of the bullion market in the UK.
It is comprised of 14 market-making members or dealers, and 52 ordinary dealers who may be brokers or bankers. Five market-making members of the LBMA meet twice a day, to fix the price of gold. This process is also called gold-fixing. It is the responsibility of the LBMA members to maintain The Good Delivery List, meaning thereby that only those refiners are accepted who conform to the strict criteria of good delivery. The standard good delivery gold and silver bars should be 995 fine and must weigh 400 ounces. The assaying quality of all the listed refiners is regularly checked by the Proactive Monitoring Programme.
Spot quotations are made for loco-London gold and silver bars, but they are actually stored in a vault of a Swiss bank. The reason why the loco-London concept has gained such standing is the fact that during the mid-nineteenth century, London became the centre for refining and selling gold that was mined in South Africa, California and Australia. As a result, the London Bullion Dealing Houses have prestigious clientele around the world. Gold dealers and other people in general have loco-London accounts in individual London trading houses, whose membership with the LBMA is mandatory. Dealing in bullion accounts is done on the same pattern as in any other foreign currency accounts.
The working hours of LBMA are form 9 am to 5 pm- but informal trading begins at around 7:15 am and ends around 7:15 pm. The members have been following the same routine since ages for fixing the gold price. Each day, at 10:30 am and 3:00 pm, five selected members meet in a closed session at the fixing room of Rothschild. The chairman begins gold-fixing by suggesting a certain price on the basis of pre-fix trading activity. All the dealers participate in suggesting their own prices until the chairman decides upon the final price of the day.
Up till 1997, the activities of LBMA were kept secret. Hence, the actual size of the gold market was not known. It is estimated that around 30 million ounces of gold is transacted every day in the London gold market Association; however, the exact figure is still not known.
Each year, the Association elects or re-elects a chairman in its annual general meeting The LBMA is highly supported by a few essential facilities like vaulting, clearing and standard documentation. One of the primary functions of the LBMA is to promote confidence, good trading practices and to develop standard documentation as required. LBMA has had maintained high standards of good delivery, gold fixing, and monitoring system to ensure a reliable system of bullion trade, and to avoid all sorts of potential risks.

The 2006-2011 World Outlook for Stainless Steel Ingots $795 The latent demand for stainless steel ingots is not actual or historic sales. Nor is latent demand future sales. In fact, latent demand can be lower either lower or higher than actual sales if a market is inefficient (i.e., not representative of relatively competitive levels). Inefficiencies arise from a number of factors, including the lack of international openness, cultural barriers to consumption, regulations, and cartel-like behavior on the part of firms. In general, however, latent demand is typically larger than actual sales in a country market. |

The World Market for Remelting Ingots of Iron or Steel $325 This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for unexpanded vermiculite, perlite, and chlorites. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for unexpanded vermiculite, perlite, and chlorites for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models. |

The Silver Pigs $9.99 One fine day, A.D. 70, Sosia Camillina quite literally runs into Marcus Didius Falco on the steps of the Forum.

Hoping for future favors from Sosia's powerful uncle, Falco embarks on an intricate case of smuggling, murder, and treason that reaches into the palace itself.
