Correction to rationale of aluminium P1020A premium, in-whs dup Rotterdam, $/tonne

Fastmarkets has corrected the rationale for its MB-AL-0346 Aluminium P1020A premium, in-whs dup Rotterdam, $/tonne that was published incorrectly on Tuesday August 19.

The sixth paragraph was erroneously written as: “Premium inched upwards, with majority of participants suggesting market activity was limited and stable, and with confirmed deal activity outside the range yet to be heard.”

This was changed to: “Premium was unchanged, with majority of participants suggesting market activity was limited and stable, and with confirmed deal activity outside the range yet to be heard,” in line with the actual index.

The published assessment for MB-AL-0346 Aluminium P1020A premium, in-whs dup Rotterdam, $/tonne on August 19 was unaffected by this change.

This price is a part of the Fastmarkets base metals package.
