Final decision on open consultation on methodology for IOSCO-audited ferrous scrap price assessments, indices

This consultation sought to ensure that our methodologies continue to reflect the physical market for our audited physical markets for ferrous scrap in compliance with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles for Price Reporting Agencies (PRAs). This includes all elements of our pricing process, our price specifications and publication frequency.

Full details of the prices covered by this consultation can be found here.

No feedback was received during the consultation period and therefore no changes will be made to the methodologies at this stage.
