Open consultation on IOSCO-audited secondary aluminium price assessments

The consultation, which is open until Friday February 13, seeks to ensure that our audited methodologies and price specifications continue to reflect the physical markets for secondary aluminium, in compliance with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles for Price Reporting Agencies (PRAs). This includes all elements of our pricing process, our price specifications and publication frequency.

All our methodologies can be found via this link.

The prices subject to this annual review are as follows:
MB-AL-0005 Aluminium pressure diecasting ingot DIN226/A380, delivered Europe, € per tonne

MB-AL-0040 Aluminum alloy A380.1, delivered Midwest, US cents per lb

To provide feedback on the annual review of the above-listed prices, please contact pricing@fastmarkets.com and metalsrecycling@fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading “FAO: Sean Barry, re: audited secondary aluminium IOSCO methodologies.”

Fastmarkets will publish the outcome of this annual review by Thursday February 19 including a summary of the feedback — with the exception of those responses marked as confidential. Any proposals to make material changes, discontinue or launch prices will involve a separate market consultation, the length of which will depend on how substantial the change is.
