SUBSCRIBER NOTE CORRECTION: Platts discontinues existing Steel Mill Economics Global Spreads, replaces series

Following a period of industry consultation, Platts has discontinued its existing suite of Steel Mill Economics Global Spreads from March 31, 2016.

Platts replaces the series with several new additions and changes from April 1, 2016. (See separate subscriber note)

The move follows market interest for exchange-focused tradeable spreads and tracking export-oriented margins. Platts plans to also publish spreads from Minerals Value Service (MVS).
