PRICING NOTICE: Correction to Fastmarkets’ 37% and 44% manganese ore indices rationales

Fastmarkets MB has corrected the rationales for its 37% and 44% manganese ore cif Tianjin indices, which were published incorrectly on April 26 due to a reporter error.

The rationale for the 37% manganese ore index originally read:

“And two other buyers reported deals heard at $6.00 per dmtu. Lastly one trader reported a deal heard at $6 but this was discarded because they could not be verified from either side.”

This has been corrected to:

“And two other buyers reported deals heard at $6.00 per dmtu. One of these was discarded because the data submitter was not confident the deal was completed.”

The rationale for the 44% manganese ore index originally read:

“Two sellers assessed the market at $6.55 per dmtu, and another assessed it at $6.42 per dmtu.”

This has been corrected to:

“Two sellers assessed the market at $6.42 per dmtu, and another assessed it at $6.55 per dmtu.”

Fastmarkets MB’s price book and database have been updated to reflect this change.
