Platts to discontinue US zinc weekly all-in price, maintain daily all-in calculation

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will discontinue its weekly Zinc US Dealer SHG all-in price (MMABF10), effective Jan. 3, 2023, following a period of industry feedback.

The weekly price is a duplication of the Thursday calculation of Platts daily Zinc NA SHG all-in (MMABD10). Following the discontinuation, Zinc NA SHG (MMABD10) will be the sole all-in price published. Weekly (MMABD01), monthly (MMABD02) and yearly (MMABD16) averages for Zinc NA SHG all-in will continue to be published without interruption. The final publication date for MMABF10 will be Dec. 29, 2022.

The discontinuation was initially proposed June 15 in a subscriber note.

The assessment to be discontinued is published in Platts Metals Daily, on Platts Metals Alert and Platts Non Ferrous Metals Alert on page 306, in the Platts Market Center, Platts Dimensions Pro and in the Platts price database.
