PRICING NOTICE: Amendment to Iranian steel billet, slab export price assessments

Fastmarkets has today amended the publication time of its weekly Iranian steel billet and slab export prices from 1-2pm to 2-3pm London time.

Following a consultation period, Fastmarkets has amended the publication time of the steel billet export, fob ports Iran assessment and the steel slab export, fob ports Iran assessment to better capture the full extent of market activity and bring the specifications in line with the majority of Fastmarkets’ other regional steel price assessments.

Although the change is being implemented from October 30, it will only take effect from the date of the next scheduled publication of the price assessments on Wednesday November 4.
