PRICING NOTICE: Conclusion of open consultation on non-ferrous methodology

Fastmarkets opened a consultation on September 4, 2020, inviting feedback on its non-ferrous methodology in line with our annual methodology review process.

No further price consultations will be opened at this stage. However, Fastmarkets invites feedback on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
