PRICING NOTICE: Proposal to launch zinc SHG Southeast Asian warrant premium

Quantity: Min 100 tonnes
Location: Any LME-approved warehouse in Singapore/Malaysia (Johor, Port Klang), premium on top of LME cash prices
Timing: Prompt release
Unit: USD/tonne
Payment terms: Cash, other payment terms normalized
Publication: Weekly; Wednesday 3-4pm London time

The consultation period for this proposal will end one month from the date of this pricing notice on Monday April 19. Subject to market feedback, the price will launch on Wednesday April 22.
