SUBSCRIBER NOTE: S&P Global Platts launches weekly US pig iron assessment

S&P Global Platts launched a weekly assessment of US pig iron February 2, 2018. The price series values imported basic pig iron on a CIF New Orleans basis using a market-on-close approach. The assessment reflects all pig iron imported into the US with a maximum phosphorus content of 0.12%. Platts will use 30,000 mt lots as a base volume with other quantities also taken into consideration and normalized where necessary to this lot size. The delivery window will be 5-10 weeks from the date of publication. The assessment will be published as a single value in USD. The weekly assessment will be made on Fridays or closest business day in the event of holidays, time stamped at 3:30 pm ET.
