Price mutations in eurocents
Price input (mutations) is collected on Monday until 13:30 CET. DCA Market Intelligence approaches contributors who are active in the market and in the area as specified in this document. The price reporters of DCA Market Intelligence enters their prices into the Price Reporting System with their possible market comments.
The Price Reporting System calculates an average price from the price input of the contributors. This is calculated according to the following method. An average is calculated for all contributors. If a contributor's price change deviates by more than €0.10 (ten eurocents) from the average price change of that component, it will be eliminated from the range and not included in further calculations. A new average price change for that pork component is then calculated.
These amounts are the final price movements of that week and are rounded to whole eurocents. Volume is not weighted, and contributors do not enter volumes. The range of the price changes (highest price change and lowest price change) is determined after applying the above elimination principle.
The final price changes will be published for each pork component on Monday.
If the described procedure cannot be applied for any reason, the management of DCA Market Intelligence decides how the final benchmark of that week should be determined or it decides not to calculate a price mutation for that week and publishes this with a substantiation.
