Why reference our prices?

Honest principles. Strict adherence to an editorial code of conduct, pricing procedures and clearly defined methodologies power every price published. These guiding principles lead our reporters to remain the most trusted in the business. Above and beyond our principles, Fastmarkets AMM’s pricing practices align with core IOSCO Principles for Price Reporting Agencies — a set of guidelines and best practices for price reporting promoted by the International Organization of Securities Commissions. Distinguished price assessment. Pricing is the pinnacle of what we do. The prices we publish are a fair reflection of transaction values in the spot market. We maintain a rich network of contacts and apply a comprehensive price formation  process. The assessed prices are not published until they have been peer reviewed to ensure adherence to methodologies and pricing rigor. Trusted benchmarks. We excel at assessing metals prices. No other brand offers more metals prices or a deeper price history than Fastmarkets AMM. Hedge financial risk, manage asset recovery, control material costs or negotiate your next contract using our prices. If you'd like to use our pricing and analysis in your contracts, reports and calculations, you need a data license. Market intelligence that matters. Behind every price change is an insightful explanation of the forces driving the markets. The news generated from our price reporting activities allows us to give our clients intelligence on trade issues, mergers & acquisitions, bankruptcies and supply chain woes — all factors that can have upward or downward pressure on metal prices.
