Sandvik acquires US-based CAM reseller FASTech
FASTech will be a part of the business unit holding Mastercam, the the world’s leading CAD/CAM software provider.
Average daily volumes at the London Metal Exchange (LME), the world’s largest and oldest metals forum, gained 18% to 664,698 lots in 2024 with nickel volumes surging by 59%, the exchange said on Tuesday.
Nickel trading volumes at the LME, owned by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd, rose after languishing since a March 2022 price spike that caused the LME to suspend trading.
“Nickel has rebounded back to levels seen in 2021 and our ferrous products continue to perform well as more firms manage their risk exposures through LME contracts,” Matthew Chamberlain, LME chief executive, said in a statement.
LME tin volumes jumped by 26%, the exchange added.
