SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts launches assessments for Brazil P1020 aluminum

Effective May 30, 2014, Platts started publishing weekly spot aluminum price assessments for the Brazilian market, capturing the tradable spot value for both imports and domestically traded aluminum.

Assessed once per week, typically on Friday, in dollars per mt, the values will reflect the typical tradable values for spot physical high-grade aluminum P1020A (99.7% Al purity, standard ingot, sow and T-Bars) for CIF Brazil premium (or discount) to the LME cash, and also premium (or discount) to the LME cash and all-in values for delivered SE Brazil.
