Decision to suspend amendment of Chinese manganese flake

Fastmarkets has decided not to proceed with the proposed amendment of MB-MN-0007 manganese 99.7% electrolytic manganese flake, fob China.

The price assessment tracks the weekly spot price of electrolytic manganese flake in the fob China market. The proposal was to change the publication frequency from weekly to monthly, following a review of market liquidity and internal data.

After a consultation period, Fastmarkets has determined that current circumstances do not make the amendment to MB-MN-0007 Manganese 99.7% electrolytic manganese flake, fob China, viable. The current weekly frequency assessment will therefore remain unchanged. 

Fastmarkets reserves the right to start a fresh consultation on amending the price in future should circumstances change.

To provide feedback on this decision not to amend the Chinese manganese flake prices, please contact Angeline Shi by email at: pricing@fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading “FAO: Angeline Shi, re: manganese flake prices.”

Please indicate if comments are confidential. Fastmarkets will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
