London based derivatives broker Britannia Global Markets said it will end its 'Category 2' membership at the London Metal Exchange after a strategic review.

The firm's abandonment of membership marks the first loss of a dealer from the iconic trading platform following the March nickel crisis in markets in which the LME cancelled billions in trades.
