Aluminium Base metals Europe Pricing notice

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.
