S&P Global Commodity Insights to discontinue Platts US tungsten prices

S&P Global Commodity Insights will discontinue publishing Platts US tungsten prices, effective July 15, 2022, following a period of industry feedback.

The decision reflects a lack of spot liquidity and trading observed, as well as changes in product flow and buying patterns.

The discontinuation was initially proposed April 12 in a subscriber note.

The assessments to be discontinued are Tungsten Ore (MMAHA00), Tungsten APT (MMAHC00), and Ferrotungsten (MMAHK00).

The final publication date for these assessments will be Thursday, July 14, 2022. Associated monthly averages will also be discontinued.

The assessments are published in Platts Metals Daily, on Platts Metals Alert, and Platts Non-Ferrous Metals Alert on pages 410, in the Platts Market Center, Platts Dimensions Pro, and in the Platts price database under the previously listed codes.
