Clarification of holiday pricing schedule for price assessments for Brazil pig iron exports, US pig iron imports

Fastmarkets is clarifying the holiday pricing calendar for its price assessments for pig iron exports from Brazil and pig iron imports in the US.

In line with Fastmarkets’ existing holiday pricing calendar, MB-IRO-0005 Pig iron export, fob port of Vitoria/Rio, Brazil, MB-IRO-0006 Pig iron export, fob Ponta da Madeira, Brazil and MB-IRO-0004 Pig iron import, cfr Gulf of Mexico, US are not published on UK bank holidays because they are assessed by the Europe-based team.

These weekly prices will not be published on Friday December 26, which is a public holiday in the UK, but will move to the next working day, Monday December 29.

The pricing holiday calendar has been updated to reflect these changes. You can find the pricing holiday calendar here.

These prices are a part of the Fastmarkets Steel Raw Materials Physical Prices package.
