Delayed publication of manganese ore fot indices

The manganese ore free-on-train indices should have been published on Monday October 9, the first working day after the week-long National Day holiday in China from September 29 to October 6.

According to Fastmarkets’ pricing methodology, “From 2023, manganese ore fot indices will follow the China holiday schedule, and will be published on
the following working day after a China holiday.”

The affected prices were published on Tuesday October 10, with a one-day delay. Fastmarkets’ pricing database has since been updated.
