PRICING NOTICE: Correction to aluminium 6063 extrusion billet premium, in-whs dp Rotterdam

Fastmarkets has corrected its price assessment for the aluminium 6063 extrusion billet premium, in-whs dp Rotterdam, which was published incorrectly on Friday February 26 due to a reporter error.

The price assessment for aluminium 6063 extrusion billet premium, in-whs dp Rotterdam should have been $440-470 per tonne, instead of $440-490 per tonne as published.

This occurred due to a calculation error when deducting the freight of $40 per tonne from the aluminium 6063 extrusion billet premium, ddp North Germany (Ruhr region).

This has now been corrected in Fastmarkets’ pricing database, MinD.
