Effective Monday October 31, the US HRC index will employ a two sub-index approach, categorizing and weighing inputs simply as sellers and buyers.
This marks the end of the 90-day consultation period that began on Thursday July 21.
Fastmarkets does not expect this change to materially affect the daily published price, based on internal analysis.
