Proposal to amend specifications of US silicon premium

On reviewing the methodology specifications, Fastmarkets is proposing to update the quantity, location and payment terms of the price. The specifications would be as follows, with amendments in italics:

MB-SI-0003 silicon, ddp US, US cents per lb
Quality: Si: 98.50%, Fe: 0.50%, Al: 0.50%, Ca: 0.30%
Quantity: Min 20 tonnes
Location:ddp US
Unit: US cents per lb
Payment terms: 30 days, other terms normalized
Publication: Weekly, Thursday 4-5pm New York time.

The quantity specification was previously erroneously written as short tons; the location specification did not match the price title and was written as “delivered US” and there were no payment terms listed.

This price is part of the Fastmarkets minor metals package.

The consultation period for this proposed amendment starts on Tuesday July 22 and will end on Monday August 18. The amendment will then take place, subject to market feedback, on Wednesday August 20.
