Early publication of US agricultural products price assessments

Fastmarkets will publish price assessments at 12:00pm CT on Tuesday December 24 for US animal fats and oils, animal proteins, biomass-based diesel, hide and leather, grain and feed ingredients, organic/non-GMO, and vegetable oils.

This is because of the Christmas holiday in the US and the consequent early closure for the day of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Normal service will resume on December 26.

The affected prices are in the Fastmarkets Ags, Ags Grains, Industrial Ags, Oils, Fats, Animal Proteins and Biofuels pricing packages.

For more information, or to provide feedback on the publication of these assessments, or if you would like to provide price information by becoming a data submitter to these assessments, please contact Chloe Krimmel by email at: pricing@fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading “FAO: Chloe Krimmel, re: US agricultural products price assessments.”

Please indicate if comments are confidential. Fastmarkets will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
