IMPORTED GOLD BARS LONDON BULLION MARKET ASSOCIATION Most international gold dealers that supply India with TT bars are members of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). The LBMA, incorporated in 1987, brought together two former bodies: the London Silver Market (which dates its origins to 1897 when the first Silver Fixing meeting was held) and the London Gold Market. The functions of both bodies were absorbed with the exception of the Fixing meetings, which are held and controlled independently by two groups of Market Maker members within the LBMA. The LBMA has 3 categories of membership. There are 10 Market Maker Members that quote prices for buying and selling gold throughout each working day; 44 Members that are actively engaged in trading, refining, melting, assaying, transporting or storing gold in the United Kingdom; and 31 Associate Members. The Bank of England has formal responsibility for the supervision of the wholesale bullion market following the Financial Services Act 1986. Acceptable refiners The LBMA currently lists 59 “Acceptable Refiners” in 28 countries, whose “400 oz” (“12.5 kg”) cast gold bars are accepted as good delivery for the settlement of physical gold transactions on the London bullion market. LONDON GOLD FIXINGS The first Gold Fixing meeting was held on 12 September 1919 at the offices of N M Rothschild & Sons Limited at New Court, St Swithin’s Lane, London EC4. At the Gold Fixing meetings, which are still held at New Court, gold is traded internationally through the 5 member firms listed below in order to balance prevailing supply with demand at a single price at the same time. • Deutsche Bank AG • HSBC Bank USA London Branch • N M Rothschild & Sons Limited • Societe Generale • The Bank of Nova Scotia – ScotiaMocatta The Gold Fixing price is expressed in US dollars per troy ounce, and derived twice daily at meetings starting at 10.30 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. 56 The London Gold Fixing meetings are held twice daily in the offices of N M Rothschild & Sons Limited. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE INDIAN GOLD MARKET
The fine gold content of a London Good Delivery bar must fall within a range of 350 oz and 430 oz. Bars are weighed in multiples of 0.025 oz rounded down to the nearest multiple. Bar purity must not be less than 995 parts gold in 1,000 parts. The dimensions of Rand Refinery’s London Good Delivery bar, in millimetres (mm), have been the same since first cast in 1921. Top 260 x 80 mm Base 240 x 60 mm Depth 40 mm IMPORTED GOLD BARS LONDON GOOD DELIVERY GOLD BAR The weight of a London Good Delivery bar is not recorded on the bar because its weight would change in the event of assay samples being taken.
