Expana to change the publishing day of its Expana Benchmark Prices for Trace Minerals 

Following a period of market feedback, Expana has decided to move its trace mineral price assessments from Mondays to Tuesdays, starting Tuesday, August 19. This means that there will be no trace mineral assessment on Monday, August 18.  

The initial proposal was announced in a market note published on Thursday, June 2, 2025, which can be viewed here. 

This will better reflect global trading patterns as pricing direction and market activity from China now occurs late Monday and into Tuesday.
