Following an internal editorial review, Fastmarkets identified that nonwovens assessments published on July 1, 2026, did not fully reflect the consistent application of its published assessment methodology. To ensure the methodology is applied consistently and that the assessments appropriately reflect observed market conditions and prevailing trading practices, the following assessments have been corrected:
Fastmarkets has transformed the pricing parameters of its three Brazilian soyoil domestic price assessments into forward curves with the launch of additional month-two (M2) assessments, effective Thursday July 8.
Brazilian tissue jumbo roll prices remained stable despite rising input costs, as persistent oversupply and competitive pressures delayed planned increases.
Fastmarkets has corrected the rationale for its MB-AL-0020 aluminium P1020A premium, ddp Midwest US, US cents/lb assessment, which was published incorrectly on Tuesday July 7.
Fastmarkets has corrected the Green Douglas Fir delivered prices for July 7th, which were marked as final weekly prices instead of preliminary due to a procedural lapse.
Fastmarkets has corrected the rationale for MB-COA-0003 Premium hard coking coal, fob eastern Australian ports, $/wmt, which was published incorrectly on Tuesday July 7 due to a typographical error.
