flag Despite a shift to electronic trading, Europe's last open-outcry trading floor in London persists.

The London Metal Exchange (LME) retains Europe's last open-outcry trading floor, where traders shout orders to set global metal prices.

The LME kept one daily in-person session due to demand, though electronic trading is seen as more efficient and cost-effective.
