BHP's Australian nickel stoppages spoil plans for LME alternative
Plans for two new nickel trading platforms to challenge the London Metal Exchange (LME) have been blown off course by BHP's planned suspension of its plants in Western Australia, which has prevented it from committing to them.

Both initiatives were backed by BHP, the world's largest listed miner, which said last year that LME nickel did not represent the physical market and that reform was long overdue.

The ECB cut rates for the second time this year on Thursday and markets are now trying to guess when the next move is coming, with most bets focused on December and some also putting money on another cut in October. Nagel would not, like some of his colleagues, close the door on December, but noted that hurdles remained.
