Pause in publication of US agricultural products price assessments

Fastmarkets will not publish any price assessments for US animal fats and oils; animal proteins; biomass-based diesel; hide and leather; grain and feed ingredients; organic/non-GMO; and vegetable oils on Wednesday January 1.

This is because of the New Year’s Day holiday in the US and the consequent closure for the day of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Normal service will resume on Thursday January 2.

The affected prices are in the Fastmarkets Ags; Ags Grains; Industrial Ags; Oils, Fats, and Biofuels; and Animal Proteins pricing packages.

For more information, or to provide feedback on the publication of these assessments, or if you would like to provide price information by becoming a data submitter to these assessments, please contact Chloe Krimmel by email at: pricing@fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading “FAO: Chloe Krimmel, re: US agricultural products price assessments.”

Please indicate if comments are confidential. Fastmarkets will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
