SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts publishes rationale for FOB Australia alumina

S&P Global Platts has started publishing an assessment rationale effective September 26, 2016, that reflects how the daily FOB Australia alumina price assessment is derived.

The rationale, published daily on MW0020, consists of information gathered during the day, particularly transactions, bids and offers received from market participants.

The rationale also contains other information relevant to the assessment process.

The rationale highlights the information used in the assessment process as well as explains why certain information was not used in the event of any exclusions.
