PRICING NOTICE: Correction to Metal Bulletin’s Shanghai spot in-warehouse copper premium

Due to a data error, Metal Bulletin’s spot premium assessment for Shanghai in-warehouse copper ER cathodes was published incorrectly on Monday June 11.

The premium assessment for grade A copper cathodes, Shanghai, bonded in-warehouse ER, should have been $78-83 per tonne on June 11, instead of $78-82 per tonne as published earlier.

Metal Bulletin’s price book and database have been updated to reflect this change on the high end of the range.
