Correction to P1020 US premium rationale on August 13

Fastmarkets has corrected the rationale for its MB-AL-0020 aluminium P1020A premium, ddp Midwest US, which had been published incorrectly on Tuesday August 13.

The rationale was published without the contango information due to a type error.

The following paragraph was changed in the rationale for MB-AL-0020 aluminium P1020A premium, ddp Midwest US, US cents/lb:

“The LME C/3M spread was most recently trading at a $53.50/t contango on Tuesday, compared to $50/t on Monday”.

The published price was unaffected by this change.

This price is part of the Fastmarkets base metals package.
