Last month, 13 copper-industry representatives at the London Metal Exchange (LME) were asked whether Russian metal should be blocked from its warehouses. Ten of them said "yes.” But when advisory groups for nickel and aluminum discussed the same question, the general consensus was "no.”
The LME, which is the ultimate decision-maker, says it won’t take action that goes beyond government sanctions — which, so far, have left most of the metals industry untouched.
