In need of the latest zinc price but regularly find yourself shooting a round of 18 on the links?
London-based FastMarkets, a provider of commodity market information, as well as operators of BaseMetals.com, now offers live London Metal Exchange (LME) market data to people with cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), such as BlackBerrys and Palm Pilots.
The service is aimed at traders, investors and industrial clients who need copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, lead and tin market information when they are out of the office.
Users can access real-time cash prices, cash to three months, tomorrow/next day, and ring prices from warehouse stocks and official LME prices. Other information available includes news headlines for each traded metal, thumbnail charts displaying the day’s price moves, as well as live currencies and mining equities.
The LME data is sourced directly from the market itself, and the service is already available to www.BaseMetals.com clients who have purchased a subscription to the real-time LME data service.
The LME information can be viewed on PDAs or mobile phones equipped with web browsers by visiting either www.basemetals.com/pda (for the optimized version for Blackberrys) or www.BaseMetals.com/mobile (for mobile phones with small screens). Subscribers simply enter a user name and password.
“The concept behind the mobile version of BaseMetals.com was to design a site which is compact and fast,” says Toby Bush, a designer of the new mobile service.
The service starts at 299 (US$550) per month and includes exchange fees. For more details, visit www.BaseMetals.com/shop.
