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.
