Fastmarkets has corrected its daily composite calculations for No1 heavy melting scrap, No1 busheling and shredded auto scrap, which was published incorrectly on Wednesday, April 9

The daily composite prices for these grades were incorrectly calculated without the settled Chicago assessments on April 9.

The composite prices for No1 heavy melting scrap and No1 busheling are calculated using the average settled prices for Chicago, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

The composite price for shredded auto scrap is calculated using the average settled prices for Alabama, Chicago, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
