Delayed publication of CIS steel slab, flat steel and wire rod assessments

The publication of Fastmarkets’ CIS steel slab, wire rod, hot-rolled and cold-rolled coil assessments was postponed by one day due to a public holiday in Ukraine on Monday July 15.

The assessments were published on Tuesday July 16 and while this was scheduled was intended, the holiday had been erroneously omitted from the Fastmarkets holiday pricing schedule.

The schedule has been updated to include the holiday.

Fastmarkets’ pricing database has been updated.
