Clarification of holiday pricing schedule for Turkey flat steel, slab assessments

Fastmarkets is clarifying the holiday pricing calendar for its price assessments for Turkey flat steel and slab.

In line with Fastmarkets’ existing holiday pricing calendar, the following prices are not published on UK bank holidays because they are assessed by the Europe-based team:

MB-STE-0105 Steel hot-rolled coil import, cfr main port Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0106 Steel cold-rolled coil import, cfr main port Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0107 Steel hot-rolled coil export, fob main port Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0108 Steel hot-rolled coil domestic, exw Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0109 Steel cold-rolled coil domestic, exw Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0110 Steel hot-dipped galvanized coil domestic, exw Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0111 Steel prepainted galvanized domestic, exw Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0780 Steel hot-dipped galvanized export, fob Turkey, $/tonne
MB-STE-0938 Steel slab import, cfr Turkey, $/tonne

These prices will therefore not be published on Friday December 26, which is a public holiday in the UK, but will move to the next working day, Monday December 29.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