PRICING NOTICE: Discontinuation of European aluminium duty-paid three-months premium delayed

Metal Bulletin will delay the discontinuation of its premium for European aluminium P1020A, in-warehouse Rotterdam duty-paid, for delivery three months forward, to Monday May 1, from the initially scheduled Monday April 17.

April 13, 2017

By Jethro Wookey

The change is a result of industry consultation, and will allow companies needing to move contracts to the cash premium more time to do so.

The discontinuation of the three-month premium is not expected to lead to any drop in the amount of information received by Metal Bulletin, or incorporated into its premiums.

If you have any further comments or questions about this proposal, please email global aluminium editor Jethro Wookey on jwookey@metalbulletin.com.
