This consultation, which is open until April 12, 2023, seeks 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.

Fastmarkets FOEX proposes no changes to the current index methodology or specifications. Please find the current methodology for the FOEX PIX Paper price indices here.

Fastmarkets will publish the outcome of this methodology review by April 26, 2023, including a summary of the feedback with the exception of those marked as confidential.
