During 2020 we have witnessed one of the most tumultuous periods of disruption in the markets we cover at very close quarters, including the direct bearing on price. The policies and processes we deploy, the subject of this audit, and our leading market analysis capability have together ensured CRU prices have remained entirely uninterrupted and wholly reliable benchmarks through this period.” CRU CEO David Trafford said. Many CRU prices, including the CRU-API, are embedded in physical contracts, with our price assessments allowing for effective, efficient and reliable commercial exchange. Upholding good prices governance is an essential enabler of that and our commitment to it is unwavering in any market conditions.
