Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will publish secondary aluminum alloy and scrap and NY Dealer tin calculations in $/mt, as direct conversions from its existing biweekly assessment in cents/lb, effective Nov. 1, 2022.
The conversions will mirror the specifications of the existing delivered Midwest aluminum and tin assessments in cents/lb. The biweekly calculations will follow the US publishing schedule.
