Fair questions
What changes on 1 July 2026 for these two records?
Two things at once. The LBMA record remains the home of all four benchmarks; the readable LPPM tables become a bounded chapter rather than a running series.
Can Datadory deliver both datasets together?
Yes. Either record arrives alone or both arrive merged onto one calendar, joined on metal, fix date and auction period and normalized to their documented field dictionaries, delivered daily, weekly, or hourly - your call. Request a sample with your metals and year window and it lands pre-cut, with field definitions and coverage profiles attached. Or take both in one feed.
