Delayed publication of blister copper refining charge

The publication of Fastmarkets’ monthly blister copper refining charge, which was due to be published on Tuesday February 28, was delayed to Wednesday March 1 due to a reporter error.

The affected price is MB-CU-0408 – Copper blister 98-99% RC spot, cif China, $/tonne, which has been updated to $105-120 per tonne.
