I have a subscription to Fastmarkets MB already so do I need a Data Licence to use the prices?
You do not need a Data Licence if the prices are for your personal use only. However, if the prices are being extracted from Fastmarkets MB and redistributed to colleagues directly or via a company system then those people interacting with the data would need to be licenced separately. See Data Licence
Why do I need a Data Licence?
Fastmarkets MB pricing data represents the most important part of our service offering. Fastmarkets MB, in its role as a leading metals price reporting agency, has been investing in the personnel, compliance and technology infrastructure to support the development of its benchmark prices. In response to the growing adoption of Fastmarkets MB's prices by companies in the metals value chain, we offer the Data Licence as the solution to receive and use our prices for key functions in sales and trading, as well as, mid and back office operations that also interact with pricing data. See Data Licence
Can I share Fastmarkets MB prices internally?
Our pricing data can be shared internally as long as all direct and derived users are covered by a Data Licence. See Data Licence
Can I share Fastmarkets MB prices with my clients?
Our prices can only be shared when part of an invoice or a credit note. Clients may not share in any other way our data externally with their counter parties. They would need to have their own Data Licence agreement with Fastmarkets MB.
Can I post Fastmarkets MB prices on my website for my client to see?
No this is not permitted. Your clients would need to subscribe directly with Fastmarkets MB if they need access to our prices.
I get Fastmarkets MB prices through a third party such as Bloomberg or Thomson Reuters can I use them in my company's workflow?
No, you will require a separate Data Licence if the use of those prices is for anything other than your personal use.
How can I access Fastmarkets MB Prices?
Our data is available in the following delivery methods:
- Exporting prices from the Price Book on the Fastmarkets MB website
- Approved third party distribution partners such as Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters and Morningstar
- Fastmarkets MB Data Price Feeds
How are Data Price Feeds packaged?
You can choose from the following groups of prices;
- Base Metals
- Industrial Minerals
- Minor Metals
- Ores & Alloys
- Precious Metals
- Scrap (Ferrous and Non Ferrous)
- Steel

- All Metals Package (full access to all of the above packages)
- Live Exchange Data (LME, CME, SHFE)
How can I incorporate this feed into my everyday workflow?
The market data feed is set-up using an API/XML framework which means clients can access, integrate and manipulate our data using both standard independent software vendor and bespoke in-house applications and analytics. Most organizations with an IT team or a developer will be able to integrate this with relatively little effort. If you don't have any technical staff, we are able to provide support and code snippets to enable integration.
How secure is a Data Price Feed?
Each data request to the API is authenticated to ensure access is granted to the named user. Via the API, the risk of an employee infringing the terms of contract or disseminating data to unauthorized sources is reduced, as the data is delivered directly into client systems.
What is the cost of a Data Price Feed?
It depends on the number of users and how many price packages are required. We also offer enterprise-wide licences. Please request a quote from us at hello.mb@fastmarkets.com
Are there any restrictions when using a Data Price Feed?
Sharing of Fastmarkets MB data to unlicensed individuals amounts to violation of our policy and may lead to additional charges.
Can you help if I have special requirements around the data I receive?
We strongly recommend customers to use one of our standard package offerings however we understand that you may have bespoke needs around the feed we provide. We are able to support this only on a case by case basis and if the feed cannot be customized at the clients' end. We might have to pass on the development cost to customers based on requirements.
