Discontinuation of four US titanium prices

Fastmarkets has discontinued four quarterly US titanium prices, effective from Friday September 1.

After a three-month consultation period, the following prices were discontinued due to a lack of market liquidity:

MB-TI-0005 – Titanium plate alloy AMS 4911, fob shipping point US, $/lb
Quality: AMS 4911 ½in x 48in x 120in
Location: fob shipping point
Unit: US dollars per lb
Publication: Quarterly

MB-TI-0006 – Titanium bar alloy AMS 4928, fob shipping point US, $/lb
Quality: AMS 4928, 1in diameter
Location: fob shipping point
Unit: US dollars per lb
Publication: Quarterly

MB-TI-0007 – Titanium plate commercially pure, fob shipping point US, $/lb
Quality: ASTM-B265 Grade 2, ½in x 96in x 240in
Location: fob shipping point
Unit: US dollars per lb
Publication: Quarterly

MB-TI-0008 – Titanium sheet commercially pure, fob shipping point US, $/lb
Quality: ASTM-B265 Grade 2, 1/8in x 36in x 96in
Unit: US dollars per lb
Location: fob shipping point
Publication: Quarterly

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.
