Chilean AMSA and Chinese Smelters Finalise Mid-Year Copper Concentrates Long-Term Contract: First Abandonment of Fixed Prices, Reaching a Compromise Index-Linked Pricing Formula

Chilean miner AMSA and some core copper smelters in China finalised the pricing scheme for mid-year long-term contract copper concentrate TCs on July 1, abandoning the traditional fixed TC model for the first time and switching to a floor-index-linked pricing mechanism.
