Metal Bulletin is proposing a number of changes to its ferro-chrome and chrome ore price quotations, including changes to metal specifications, the rationalisation of metal price descriptions and the elimination of some prices.
Metal Bulletin is considering changing the descriptions, and in some cases specifications, of the following prices.
Of the prices above, Metal Bulletin is considering eliminating the ultra low-carbon ferro-chrome spot price; and the low-phosphorus, high-carbon ferro-chrome spot price.
On chrome ore, Metal Bulletin is also considering dropping the SA friable lumpy basis 35-40% price.
If you have any comments about the proposed changes, please email them to Metal Bulletin’s price manager, Mary Higgins, mhiggins@metalbulletin.com by Friday November 4 2011.
