LME Trading Restored After Two-Hour Halt Roiled Metals Markets

'Electronic trading was halted in all contracts on the London Metal Exchange for more than two hours on Monday due to an issue with its primary electronic matching engine.'

Thanks Matml74, I have always assumed that front running as its called would have already taken place given that we have seen some large 'Delayed Trades' posted on this website.

Quick Google question: How do you find out how many shares of Greatland Resources are being purchased by the GDX?

Official Confirmation: Greatland Resources (GGP) was confirmed for addition to the GDX on March 13, 2026.

Estimated Impact: Estimates suggested the combined inclusion of GDX and ASX100 could require massive buying, with some forecasts projecting combined ownership of roughly 60–65M shares. ?

Most of that buying will surely have already taken place won't it. Probably not who knows? If not expect a price rise?

Nothing like a bit of reverse psychology is there Rob?

Do you understand that Rob? bet you don't. O:)

'Investment is being made across mine development, infrastructure and fleet for multi-year life extension at Telfer' that's all I need to know. :O)

Oil price spiral may be slowed but not stopped by G7 emergency move

Current Price

$5,106.60

I'll go with Grok , 'Gold mining shares (such as those in the VanEck Gold Miners ETF GDX, major producers like Newmont, Barrick, or indices tracking the sector) are likely to see upward pressure or open higher on Monday, March 2, 2026, closely tracking the strength in the underlying gold price.'

Quick check on todays trades.

Downloaded all trades data from the London Stock Exchange website which gives a total volume for today of supposedly 2,262,536.

If you deduct the AUD denominated trade of 1,445070 volume you get the actually reported trade volume as shown on investment.com of 817,466

2026-02-26_15:11:58 AUD 13.5 1,445,070 19,508,445 Off-book AIMX

So that trade reported on here was obviously delayed and did not happen today IMO, more smoke & mirrors.

Check trade volume on Investment.com 817,470

Should Newmont be still listed on the ASX?

Yes, Newmont Corporation should still be listed on the ASX (Australian Securities Exchange) under the ticker NEM.

As of February 23, 2026, Newmont remains actively listed on the ASX as a foreign exempt listing via CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs). Recent evidence includes:

Official company announcements and press releases from Newmont (e.g., Q4/full-year 2025 results and 2026 guidance) explicitly reference listings on NYSE: NEM, ASX: NEM, and PNGX: NEM.

The company's investor relations page and stock information show live ASX pricing (e.g., recent quotes around AUD 167–175, with trading volume in the hundreds of thousands).

ASX's own company profile for NEM confirms its status (Code: CD, Materials sector, listed since late 2023 following the Newcrest acquisition).

Dividend announcements specifically address ASX CDIs, with the latest quarterly distribution of US$0.26 per CDI (ex-date March 2, 2026).

Newmont reaffirms NYSE compliance annually as required for its ASX foreign exempt status.

What you on about MH01 Re NEM??????????????

About half of Trump's tariffs are now null and void - but his trade war is not over.

In the UK, second-hand (pre-owned) silver coins sold by VAT-registered dealers often qualify for the

VAT Margin Scheme, meaning VAT is only applied to the dealer's profit margin, not the full sales price. This usually makes pre-owned silver cheaper than new, which carries a full 20% VAT.

Key VAT Rules for Second-Hand Silver Coins (UK):

Margin Scheme Eligibility: Pre-owned silver coins purchased by dealers from the public can be sold under the Margin Scheme.

VAT Application: VAT is calculated at 16.67% (effectively) on the dealer's margin (the difference between buying and selling price).

Price Transparency: The VAT is included in the final price you see and is not shown separately.

Savings: Because VAT is not applied to the full value, pre-owned silver coins are often more cost-effective for investors than new silver, which incurs 20% VAT on the entire price.

No Reclaim: You cannot reclaim the VAT included in the margin scheme.

Exemptions: Some dealers offer VAT-free silver, but this often requires storing the silver in specific bonded warehouses rather than taking personal delivery
