Contained metal

60.00 MT

Aluminium inside the goods

Hedgeable metal

60.00 MT

Flows to hedge desk → LME Aluminium

60 MT = 60.00 MT contained Refined metal is 100% base metal → 60.00 MT Aluminium hedgeable

60 MT of EC-grade aluminium wire rod × 100% = 60 MT Al hedgeable → hedge on LME Aluminium.
