Launch of two antimony metal CIF Rotterdam/Antwerp price assessments: pricing notice

Fastmarkets launches two, twice-weekly, price assessments to reflect the spot price of antimony metal sold on a CIF Rotterdam/Antwerp basis on Wednesday March 4.

After a consultation, Fastmarkets has launched a twice-weekly price assessment for antimony metal trioxide grade, CIF Rotterdam/Antwerp, and a corresponding twice-weekly price assessment for antimony metal MMTA standard grade II, CIF Rotterdam/Antwerp.
