LONDON- The London Metal Exchange (LME) said on Monday it cancelled all of its events during the LME Week in London because of the coronavirus.

The annual gathering of the metal industry is due to take place in October 2020 where the exchange usually hosts seminars and a glitzy annual dinner.

The LME is owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX).
