The LBMA Gold Price will replace the
Gold Fixing Price which has been in existence since September 1919.
The regulator cited actions taken on June 28, 2012 when an individual trader "exploited the weaknesses in Barclays' system" to influence the
gold fixing prices and profit at a customer's expense.
The five banks who oversee the so-called London
gold fixing -- Barclays Plc, Deutsche Bank AG, Bank of Nova Scotia, HSBC Holdings Plc and Societe Generale SA -- have formed a steering committee that's seeking external firms to advise how the process could be improved, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the review isn't public.
Gold fixing occurs twice a day by teleconferencing with five banks, which are Deutsche Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia-ScotiaMocatta, Barclays Bank (LON: BARC), HSBC Bank (LON:HSBA)USA and Societe Generale (EPA:GLE).
The London PM
Gold fixing was 1,683.50 Vs the prior PM fixing at 1,685.00.
