A list of these vendors is included in this section. The Exchange does not currently provide a service of real time or delayed prices directly to market users. If you want access to LME price information you should contact any of the information quote vendors listed and ask them about their type of service, depth of LME coverage and charges. It is important to understand that not all vendors provide the same service. Some vendors will be able to provide you with a digital data feed to your own host server or a service to a stand alone PC or terminal.
Some vendors specialise in updates to pagers or mobile phones.
The number of vendors providing a service via the Internet is also growing and you should ask the vendor if they have an Internet product. If you are interested in a particular contract or set of prices, make sure to check with the vendor that this can be provided. Although all vendors receive the same data from the Exchange at the same time, not all vendors pass on all the data. Vendors can also provide you with real time or delayed data. Real time data is instantaneous whereas delayed data is delayed by 30 minutes or more.
