Decision to discontinue China import steel billet price assessment

Fastmarkets’ decision follows a one-month consultation after preliminary discussions with market participants suggested the market liquidity for China billet imports has been too low to collect price data regularly.

Fastmarkets will continue to publish its daily price assessment for MB-STE-0157 steel billet domestic, exw Tangshan, Northern China.
