The rationale for MB-CO-0021 cobalt hydroxide payable indicator, min 30% Co, cif China, % payable of Fastmarkets’ standard-grade cobalt price (low-end) had erroneously stated that the assessment was “78-80% on Wednesday July 2, narrowed up from $77-80% in the previous session.”

This has been corrected to 77-80%.

The published price is unaffected by this change.

These prices are a part of the Fastmarkets minor metals package.
