PRICING NOTICE: Proposal to amend publication time of Iranian steel billet, slab export prices

Fastmarkets proposes to amend the publication time of its weekly steel billet and slab export prices for Iran-origin material in order to better capture the full extent of market activity, and to bring the specifications into line with the majority of Fastmarkets’ other regional steel price assessments.

The current publication time for both price assessments is Wednesday, 1-2pm London time.
