Early publication of European titanium scrap, ferro-titanium prices

The publication of Fastmarkets’ European titanium scrap and ferro-titanium prices on June 28, 2023, took place earlier than scheduled due to an editor error in the approval process.

The prices were published at 2.50pm London time, instead of the scheduled time of 3pm.

The data submission window had already closed, and data collection and the final price assessments were not affected.

The prices that were published early are as follows:
MB-FET-0001 Ferro-titanium 70% Ti, max 4.5% Al, ddp Europe, $/kg Ti
MB-TI-0002 Titanium scrap turnings, unprocessed type 90/6/4, 0.5-2% Sn max, cif Europe, $/lb
