Fastmarkets selects the frequency of publication of a market assessment after considering the number of data points (deals, bids, offers, deals heard and assessments) that it can reasonably expect to collect on a consistent basis over the selected period to support the price assessment process.
This proposal follows preliminary discussions with the market as well as internal meetings to review relevant Fastmarkets’ data, which suggest lower spot liquidity, price volatility, and data usage recently.
The proposed new specifications are listed below, with the proposed amendment of price frequency in italics:
