Open consultation on methodology for Northern Europe, US HRC indices

This consultation was done as part of our published annual methodology review process.

No feedback was received during the consultation period and therefore no changes will be made to the methodologies at this stage.

This notice of the decision was delayed past its original May 1 schedule.

This consultation sought to ensure that our methodologies continue to reflect the physical market under indexation, 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.

You can find the current methodology for the Northern Europe HRC index here.

The methodology for the US HRC index can be found here.
