Fastmarkets will discontinue its MB-NI-0141 nickel min 99.8% warrant premium, in-whs North Europe, price assessment on Wednesday March 26.

After a consultation period, Fastmarkets has discontinued this price due to separate assessments for briquette and full plate nickel warrants being more reflective of the market.
