The new London Metal Exchange cash-settled aluminium duty-unpaid European contract will be settled against Fastmarkets MB’s benchmark Rotterdam premium.

Meanwhile, the new cash-settled alumina contract will be settled against a basket of Fastmarkets MB’s benchmark daily fob Australia alumina index and CRU’s alumina price index – equal weighting given to each index.

The interactive web seminar will include an opportunity to submit questions or comments to the speakers anonymously. If you have any questions about Fastmarkets’ alumina or aluminium pricing, you can send them in advance to Alice Mason at alice.mason@fastmarkets.com.
