Market Chatter: Citigroup Pursuing Rent Deals for Lead Traded on London Metal Exchange

MT Newswires Live03-19

Citigroup (C) recently deposited "significant" amounts of lead in warehouses approved by the London Metal Exchange for so-called rent-sharing deals, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing three sources familiar with the matter.

The report said it is not known how much lead Citigroup has delivered, but cited LME data showing a 15% increase in the amount of lead stored in Singapore warehouses to 206,350 tons in four days to Tuesday.

Citi did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
