Fastmarkets MB has corrected its cobalt sulfate, Co 20.5% min, China ex-works, adjustment to standard-grade cobalt low-end price at Co 20.5% basis, $/Ib, which was published incorrectly on Wednesday April 10.

The assessment was incorrectly published at -$0.75 – +$0.13 per lb due to a calculation error, and has been revised to -$0.15 – +$0.03 per lb. 

Fastmarkets MB’s price book and database have been updated to reflect this change.
