Correction to rationale of cobalt standard grade, in-whs Rotterdam

Fastmarkets has corrected the rationale for its MB-CO-0005 Cobalt standard grade, in-whs Rotterdam, $/lb price assessment, which was published incorrectly on Monday March 23 due to a typo.

The published rationale for MB-CO-0005 Cobalt standard grade, in-whs Rotterdam, $/lb had erroneously stated that the price in the previous session was “$25.65-26.60 per lb”. This has been corrected to “$25.65-26.65 per lb”.

The published price is unaffected by this change.

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