Amendment to publication time of inferred China cobalt hydroxide price assessment

The change to the timing of the publication of the price assessment for MB-CO-0023 cobalt hydroxide, min 30% Co, inferred, China, will give the calculation more time to align with the corresponding price assessment for cobalt standard grade, in-whs Rotterdam, which is published daily at 3:00pm London time.

The amendment had gone through a four-week consultation period, with no feedback disagreeing with the proposed change.

The daily cobalt hydroxide inferred price is calculated by multiplying the low-end of the cobalt standard grade, in-whs Rotterdam, price assessment by the prevailing midpoint of Fastmarkets’ cobalt hydroxide payable indicator, min 30% Co, cif China.
