Decision to discontinue Russian domestic steel prices

Fastmarkets’ decision follows a three-month consultation to discontinue its Russian domestic steel prices due to a lack of transaction data and the consultation received no feedback.

The affected prices are:
MB-STE-0064 Steel cold-rolled sheet domestic, cpt Moscow, Russia, rubles/tonne incl. VAT
MB-STE-0065 Steel hot-rolled sheet domestic, cpt Moscow, Russia, rubles/tonne incl. VAT
MB-STE-0066 Steel reinforcing bar (rebar) domestic, cpt Moscow, Russia, rubles/tonne incl. VAT
MB-STE-0514 Steel plate domestic, cpt Moscow, Russia, rubles/tonne incl. VAT

The consultation period for this price began on June 29 and ended on September 29, with changes effective on October 5.

All short-term forecasts associated with these prices produced by the Fastmarkets research team, if any, have also been discontinued.
