Correction to Alumina index, fob Australia on November 19, November 20

Fastmarkets has corrected the rationales for its MB-ALU-0002 Alumina index, fob Australia index, which were published incorrectly on Wednesday November 19 and Thursday November 20 due to reporter error.

The rationales for MB-ALU-0002 Alumina index, fob Australia, $/tonne on those days had omitted a deal at $318 per tonne FOB Gladstone for 30,000 tonnes, which had been carried over from the previous index. This has been corrected.

The published prices are unaffected by this change.

This price is part of the Fastmarkets base metals package.
