RISI and FOEX rebrand as Fastmarkets

Euromoney is an international business-to-business information group focused primarily on global commodities, banking, and asset management markets. According to a statement, the new brands extend Fastmarkets commodities coverage into forest products, alongside its metals and mining pricing business, which includes products formerly known as Metal Bulletin (rebranded in 2018 as Fastmarkets MB), American Metal Market (now Fastmarkets AMM), and Industrial Minerals (now Fastmarkets IM).

The change to Fastmarkets is not just a new name and look. It highlights our commitment to expanding and strengthening our presence in the global forest products market. This is reflected by our 2018 acquisition of Random Lengths, an important price reporting agency for the North American lumber industry, as well as our expanded investment in technology and process improvements worldwide, said Dan Klein, CEO of Fastmarkets RISI and Fastmarkets FOEX.

The unified Fastmarkets brand advances its vision to be “a single, definitive source for trusted commodities data”. Fastmarkets currently provides over 5 500 commodity reference prices and benchmarks for use in physical contracts, as financial benchmarks, and for tracking and analysing key trends in the markets it serves.

What’s not changing is our commitment to objectivity, transparency, and being the leading source of pricing data, analytics, and events for the international forest products sector. Enabling our customers to master their markets remains our core mission. We are extremely excited to improve our customers’ experience by developing new ways for our data and insights to improve their workflows, stated Dan Klein.
