The index was published as $3.75 per dry metric tonne unit (dmtu) on November 8.
But one participant’s data submission comprised an aggregated price and volume for several separate deals, the actual itemized values of which were later established to have differed from the data entered into the index. Since it was deemed that Fastmarkets’ reporters could have done more to ascertain the specifics of this submission at the time, the decision has been made to retroactively calculate the index based on the updated information.
Therefore, the manganese ore 44% index, cif Tianjian has been corrected to $3.70 per dmtu after recalculation.
Fastmarkets’ price book and database have been updated to reflect this correction.
For details of the manganese ore 44% index, cif Tianjin and other manganese ore indices, please see the Fastmarkets price book.
