20 Mar 2025 The London Metal Exchange (LME)London Metal Exchange: 9.2 million GBP – controls and escalation failed in nickel turmoil €11m
When the nickel price rose to over 100,000 USD within just over an hour on 8 March 2022, only junior staff were on duty during Asian trading hours, and they had not been trained to recognise a disorderly market; they did not escalate and even switched off price bands. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) imposed a fine on the recognised investment exchange for the first time: 9.2 million GBP after a 30% discount.
Critical infrastructure needs trained staff around the clock and clear escalation paths – including at night and at off-peak times.
Escalation of unusual market conditions; training of shift staff
Missing or inadequate training played a role in the decision.
