PRICING NOTICE: Correction to European stainless steel index

Fastmarkets has corrected its EU domestic Stainless Steel 304 Europe Raw Materials Index, which was published incorrectly on Monday October 22 due to a data entry error.

October 30, 2018

Fastmarkets’ European stainless steel index was incorrectly published as $1,547.12 per tonne after an exchange rate calculation error. The correct price for that date is $1,299.53 per tonne.

The Fastmarkets price book and database have been updated to reflect this change.
