Correction to Fastmarkets’ pricing rationale for the US import pig iron assessment

Fastmarkets has corrected its pricing rationale for the pig iron import market in the United States, which was published incorrectly on Friday July 21 due to a typo.

The affected price is MB-IRO-0004, pig iron import, cfr Gulf of Mexico, US.

The rationale initially stated that the price was at $450-469 per tonne on July 14; this has been corrected to $450-460 per tonne. The error did not affect any published price assessment for pig iron import, cfr Gulf of Mexico, US.

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