Technology built for trading on the LME
Trading metals on the London Metal Exchange is unlike anything else — and it needs technology that understands the prompt dates, carries, warrants and physical realities that come with it.
Sinara has spent 20 years building exactly that, for the brokers and members who trade the LME every day.
We Know This Market
The markets reward firms with the right technology behind them
The LME’s mechanics — prompt-date structures, carries and spreads, average pricing, borrowing and lending, physical delivery and warrants — place demands on systems that generic trading technology simply doesn’t meet.
Add an evolving rulebook and the 2026 reforms on the horizon, and staying competitive means staying ahead technically.
Sinara is the partner metals firms turn to: 20 years in the LME and metals markets, proven products, and the engineering depth to build whatever else you need.
Built Around You
Everything an LME business needs
Full LME rulebook support
Prompt dates, carries, average pricing, borrowing and lending, physical delivery and warrants — built into our products and maintained as the rulebook evolves, including readiness for the 2026 reforms.
End to end, or point solutions
Run your whole metals operation on one connected platform, or take just the piece you need and integrate it with what you already have.
Cloud-connected LME access
Proven, cloud-hosted LME connectivity with consolidated ICE market data.
Physical and financial, together
Manage futures and options alongside warrants, inventory and physical delivery, so nothing falls between the financial and physical sides.
Ready for the 2026 reforms
We’re actively helping metals firms understand and prepare for the LME’s market reforms — technically and operationally.
Backed by metals specialists
Our people understand this market, not just the software. That’s the difference between technology that’s simply connected and technology that’s correct.
