Correction to European steel plate import prices on February 19

Fastmarkets has corrected its assessment for MB-STE-0049 steel plate (8-40mm) import, cfr main port Northern Europe, €/tonne, and MB-STE-0050 steel plate (8-40mm) import, cfr main port Southern Europe, €/tonne published on February 19.

The higher end of the MB-STE-0049 steel plate (8-40mm) import, cfr main port Northern Europe assessment was incorrectly published at €720 per tonne due to a currency conversion error.

The correct assessment range should be €609-650 per tonne. The price point originally reported as $720 per tonne has been converted into euros and incorporated at the lower end of the range, while the previous week’s upper value has been reinstated as the high end.

The MB-STE-0050 steel plate (8-40mm) import, cfr main port Southern Europe, €/tonne assessment published on Thursday February 19 was incorrectly reported at €650-765 per tonne due to a currency conversion error.

The upper value was based on a price point at $765 per tonne, which should have been converted to €647 per tonne. Following correction, the assessment range should read €647-650 per tonne.

Fastmarkets’ pricing database has been updated to reflect this change.
