Pricing notice

Metal Bulletin’s weekly raw materials index for Europe-origin grade-304 stainless steel should have been published as $1,531.44 per tonne on Monday March 5, but an administrative error delayed the publication until Tuesday March 6.

Throughout Monday March 5, the index therefore remained at the $1,435.14 per tonne, which was first published on Monday February 26.

Metal Bulletin’s price book and database have been updated to reflect this change.

To provide feedback on this price or if you would like to provide pricing information, please contact Lee Allen by email at: lee.allen@metalbulletin.com. Please add the subject heading: ‘re Metal Bulletin’s weekly stainless raw materials index’.
