Platts increases alumina shipment timings to 14-60 days

S&P Global Platts has updated the shipment timing in the FOB Australia and CFR China alumina daily assessments to 14-60 days forward from the assessment day effective Monday, June 3, 2019.

This implementation comes after a market consultation period on this topic, which started on February 21, 2019 and was positively received.

This is an increase from 30-60 days forward from day of assessment, to better reflect current market conditions.

The FOB Australia assessment carries the codes MMWAU00 for the daily assessment, MMWAU03 for the monthly average, MMWAU04 for the weekly average

and MMWAU16 for the yearly average.

The CFR China assessment carries the codes MMALZ00 for the daily assessment, MMALZ03 for the monthly average, MMALZ04 for the weekly average and MMALZ16

for the yearly average.
