LCG Capital Markets Limited (additional trade name “FlowBroker”) is wholly owned by FlowBank SA, a Swiss Regulated entity until June 13, 2024. On that date, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) opened bankruptcy proceedings against FlowBank SA. FINMA appointed Walder Wyss SA, succursale de Genève, 14 rue du Rhône, P.O Box, 1211 Geneva 3 as bankruptcy liquidators (the Liquidators). The place of jurisdiction for the bankruptcy is FlowBank SA head office in Geneva. This has effectively stopped FlowBank SA operations.
LCG Capital Markets Limited maintains funds with accounts at FlowBank SA. Due to significant agreements between LCG Capital Markets Limited and FlowBank SA, the appointment of the Liquidators has currently made it impossible for LCG Capital Markets Limited to carry out its operations.

The natural properties of precious metals give them a high intrinsic value and helped make them one of the first forms of currency. The trading of spot metals, such as gold and silver, is appealing to active traders because of the high liquidity. Like the forex market, political and economic events can significantly influence the price of previous metals and cause their values to fluctuate. In times of market uncertainty, people often turn to the security of precious metals, with gold perceived to be an excellent inflation hedge.
With a rolling (or continuous) contract, there is no limitation on holding period for positions.
LCG’s competitive pricing, with spreads as low as 0.3 on gold, allows you to take advantage of more spot metal market opportunities.
