Clarification of methodology for exw USA black mass payables

To increase the transparency of our methodology, Fastmarkets clarifies that the erroneous word “domestic” was eliminated from the former price names, Black mass, NCM/NCA, payable indicator, cobalt, domestic, exw USA, % payable Fastmarkets’ standard-grade cobalt price (low-end), and Black mass, NCM/NCA, payable indicator, nickel, domestic, exw USA, % payable LME Nickel cash official price.

You can find the updated methodology for black mass payables here: https://www.fastmarkets.com/methodology/metals/non-ferrous/.
