Following a month-long consultation period, Fastmarkets has launched its price for MB-STE-0887 Steel scrap shredded, index, import, cfr Port Qasim, Pakistan, $ per tonne, to complement its existing steel scrap prices in the South Asia region.
Fastmarkets already includes coverage of the Pakistan shredded steel scrap import market to supplement its India steel scrap market reports. The launch of the new index is, therefore, based on extensive pre-existing market data and knowledge.
The specifications for the MB-STE-0887 Steel scrap shredded, index, import, cfr Port Qasim, Pakistan, $ per tonne, are: Quality: Shredded scrap, compliant to ISRI specifications 210-212. Quantity: Minimum 500 tonnes Location: cfr Port Qasim, Pakistan Timing: Within six weeks Unit: $ per tonne Payment terms: Letter of credit Publication: Weekly, Fridays at 4pm London time Notes: Containerized, all origins.
Fastmarkets’ index methodology screens outliers and applies a quantity-weighted model to ensure that the Pakistan shredded index is the most robust in the industry. Fastmarkets has no financial interest in the level or direction of the index.
