Platts to change publication day for global magnesium assessments

Following a period of consultation, Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, plans to move its weekly US and European magnesium assessments to Wednesday publication from Thursday.

The change will synchronize Platts weekly US and European assessments for magnesium, effective October 5, 2022, to Wednesdays each week.

Platts is also proposing to move the timestamp for the European magnesium assessment to 4:30 pm London time, to better align with European trading hours.

The changes were initially proposed Aug. 12 in a subscriber note.

Assessments affected are as follows:

Magnesium Dealer Import, delivered US (MMAHQ00)

Magnesium Spot Western Production, delivered US (MMAHM00)

Magnesium Die Cast Alloy Transaction, delivered US (MMAHR00)

Magnesium European Free Market, IW Rotterdam (MMAIZ00)

The assessments are published in Platts Metals Daily, Platts Metals Week Supplement, and Platts Metals Alert on fixed page PMA 0368, and in the Platts database under the above-mentioned codes.
