Flat products Pricing notice

The publication of the affected prices took place about one hour before the closure of the data collection window at 1500 UK time and two hours ahead of the normal publication time of 16:00 UK time.

No additional data was received before the closure of the data collection window at 15.00 UK time so both indices remained unchanged.

The publication time in Fastmarkets’ pricing database, MInD, has since been updated.

The following indices were published early:
MB-STE-0028 Steel HRC index, domestic, ex-works Northern Europe, €/tonne
MB-STE-0892 Steel HRC index, domestic, exw Italy, €/tonne
