Early publication of Shanghai tungsten prices

The publication of Fastmarkets’ tungsten and ferro-tungsten Shanghai price assessments was earlier than scheduled on Wednesday October 23 due to an error.

The prices were published at 10:40am London time instead of the scheduled time of 2pm.

The data submission window had already closed, and the data collection and price assessments were not affected by the early publication.

The following prices were published early:

MB-W-0003 Tungsten APT 88.5% WO3 min, fob main ports China, $ per mtu WO3

MB-W-0002 Tungsten concentrate 65% WO3, in-whs China, yuan per tonne

MB-FEU-0003 Ferro-tungsten, export, min 75%, fob China, $ per kg W

These prices are part of the Fastmarkets Metals package.
