As the premier event in the Asian metal industry, the LME Asia Conference kicked off on June 27th. This year's conference brought together approximately 2,000 industry leaders, regulators, investors, and companies to discuss the latest trends and developments in the global metal market.

The highlight of this year's LME Asia Conference was the LME Asia Metals Seminar, which attracted numerous industry experts, practitioners, analysts, and representatives to the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) Financial Hall. The seminar focused on the theme "Opportunities for Metal Trading Brought by Green Transition," delving into the profound implications of this shift. HKEX Chairman Calvin Tai and LME Chairman John Williamson delivered welcoming speeches to the metal industry experts from around the world. Williamson emphasized the significant role of metals in the global market and reaffirmed LME's commitment to building a sustainable and prosperous future for the commodity industry.

Nanhua Futures' Chairman Luo Xufeng, Senior Advisor Zhang Zijian, HGNH International General Manager Jiang Linqiang, Deputy General Managers Yu Zhenzhou and Gu Ting, and Nanhua Financial (UK) Ltd. (referred to as Nanhua Financial (UK)) CEO Yan Nong were among the company leaders who attended this year's LME Asia Metals Seminar.

In his speech, Hong Kong SAR Government Deputy Financial Secretary Wong Wai-lun highlighted that the world is transitioning towards clean energy and a low-carbon economy, driving strong demand for metals used in power generation and storage. He noted that the mainland would play a more significant role in this transition, particularly in new energy, electric vehicles, and various advanced green technologies, presenting vast opportunities for Hong Kong. Hong Kong can enhance the connection between the mainland and international commodities and further develop itself as a major cross-border commodity market.

HKEX CEO Nicolas Aguzin also spoke at the event, stating that Hong Kong, as an international financial center, plays a unique role in connecting the mainland with the global market. HKEX's core strategy is to maintain effective connectivity between the mainland metal industry and international markets. HKEX is committed to supporting the development of the global metal industry and promoting the global green transition.
