POLL: London’s position as a global financial hub

As the world reels from another $2bn trading loss, Metal Bulletin asks whether London’s position as a global banking centre is at risk.

Poll: To what extent has the handling of the MF Global bankruptcy, UBS’ rogue trading scandal and now JP Morgan’s harpooning of the London Whale damaged your confidence in the City as a global financial hub?

Not at all – these events could have happened anywhere

Slightly – large losses and the slow recovery of client cash suggest the regulatory framework could be stronger

Moderately – These events show global banks are using London to take risks they couldn’t take anywhere else

Drastically – I’ll be in Singapore by the end of the week
