Price corrections for some IODEX symbols

Commodity: Metals Region: Asia

Due to an administrative error, some daily and monthly average IODEX (Platts Iron Ore Index) values dated before June 4, 2009, were published under incorrect symbols (see below).

The problem has now been corrected, and values starting on June 4 are publishing under the correct symbols. Only data subscribers were affected -- these values were correctly labeled in Platts Metals Alert and Steel Markets Daily.

Over the next few days, the price history for the affected symbols will be adjusted to reflect the correct values.

Platts apologizes for any inconvenience.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this announcement, please contact your local Platts Customer Care representative, or email support@platts.com.
