– “A deal heard was reported at $802.86/t” has been amended to “A deal heard was reported at $770-780/t”.
– “The top end of the range was up, pegged to an indication. A deal heard and deal at $802.86/t were not fully reflected due to a lack of details, but supported the upward move today” has been amended into “The top end of the range was up, pegged to a deal and an indication”.
