 American Metal Market: SHG zinc pact at LME wins support - London Metal Exchange's special high grade zinc contract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
LONDON--Two major European zinc producers Friday threw their support behind the London Metal Exchange's new special high grade zinc contract, with one company, Metallgesellschaft AG of West Germany, announcing it would cease announcing a producer price at the beginning of the year and use the LME's new quote as a price basis for its transactions.
Vieille Montagne SA of Belgium also reported on Friday that the LME's new zinc contract offered a "realistic and convenient alternative to replace the obsolete GOB (good ordinary brand) producer price basis."
The announcements by Metallgesellschaft and Vieille Montagne have undercut the support for the old price-setting system, which established a European Producer Price (EPP) based on a range of published quotes for good ordinary brand zinc.
