Platts proposes to publish weekly Asia ferrosilicon, silicomanganese and silicon prices Tuesday

Platts is proposing to publish the weekly Ferrosilicon 75% FOB China price (MMAKB00), Ferrosilicon 75% CIF Japan price (MMAJP00), Silicomanganese 65% CIF Japan price (MMAJG00), and Silicon 553 grade FOB China price (MMAJF00) on Tuesday, beginning June 2, 2020.

These assessments are currently published every Thursday.

The proposed change in schedule aims to align the publication of these products with related assessments, currently published on Tuesday.

With the change in publication schedule for these prices, Platts will also publish the Silicon 553 grade FOB China price monthly average price (MMAJF03), and its quarterly average price (MMAJF16), on Tuesday instead of Thursday.

There are no monthly or quarterly averages published for Ferrosilicon and Silicomanganese prices.

The publication schedule for these products in Europe and the US as well as assessments for other ferroalloys in Asia will remain unchanged.

Publication schedule for global silicon, ferrosilicon and silicomanganese assessments:
