Delayed publication of domestic Chinese ferro-chrome prices on April 25: pricing notice

The publication of Fastmarkets’ Chinese domestic ferro-chrome prices was delayed on Tuesday April 25 due to a technical issue.

The publication of the affected prices was delayed for approximately one hour and 34 minutes today. Fastmarkets’ pricing database, MInD, has since been updated.

The following prices were published late:
