Fastmarkets received feedback about the proposal that was deemed non-material because the source could not increase liquidity in these assessments and was willing to use MB-TI-0004 instead.
Fastmarkets will continue to assess titanium ingot 6Al-4V, fob shipping point US (MB-TI-0004) on a quarterly basis. The next assessment for that market will be on Tuesday October 10.
All short-term forecasts associated with these prices produced by Fastmarkets, if any, have also been discontinued.
