Clarification of calendar for noble alloys Europe price assessments: pricing notice

Fastmarkets wishes to clarify details around the pricing calendar for its MB-FEU-0001 Ferro-tungsten basis 75% W, in-whs dup Rotterdam; MB-FEV-0001 Ferro-vanadium basis 78% V min, 1st grade, ddp Western Europe; and MB-FN-0001 Ferro-niobium 63-67% delivered consumer works, dp, Europe price assessments owing to the year-end festive period.

Where Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day falls on a Friday, these price assessments will not be published and will not move to the preceding or the next working day. During the relevant week, they will be published on the Wednesday only.

This is in line with the approach taken on the Good Friday bank holiday in the UK, when these prices are also published on the Wednesday only, and not moved to either the preceding or the following working day.

The following prices will be published on the amended dates instead of their normal pricing days:
MB-FEU-0001 Ferro-tungsten basis 75% W, in-whs dup Rotterdam
MB-FEV-0001 Ferro-vanadium basis 78% V min, 1st grade, ddp Western Europe
MB-FN-0001 Ferro-niobium 63-67% delivered consumer works, dp, Europe

A line reflecting this clarification has been added to the ferrous calendar. You can find the updated calendar here.
