Correction to decision to amend methodology, delist certain grades for North American non-ferrous scrap dealer buying prices

Fastmarkets has corrected the notice regarding the decision to delist certain grades of its North American non-ferrous scrap dealer buying prices.

Under the Toronto heading in prices listed for discontinuation, MB-PB-0112 Lead scrap undrained whole batteries, dealer buying price, delivered to yard US, US cents/lb, and MB-ZN-0122 Zinc scrap old zinc scrap, dealer buying price, delivered to yard US, US cents/lb, were both erroneously listed as prices to be removed.
