PRICING NOTICE: Correction to copper concentrate TC/RC index January 4, 2021

Fastmarkets has corrected its weekly copper concentrate treatment and refining charge (TC/RC) index, which was published incorrectly on Monday January 4 due to a calculation error.

Fastmarkets’ weekly index for copper concentrates TC index, cif Asia Pacific (MB-CU-0287) should have been $44.70 per tonne, instead of $47.80 per tonne as previously published.

Fastmarkets’ weekly index for copper concentrates RC index, cif Asia Pacific (MB-CU-0288) should have been 4.47 cents per lb, instead of 4.78 cents per lb as previously published.
