Platts proposes to discontinue 1% FOB Rotterdam Barges derivatives assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to discontinue its 1% FOB Rotterdam barges derivatives assessments, including calendar months, cracks and time spreads, effective May 9.

This follows a lack of liquidity and market activity in the 1% FOB Rotterdam barge paper market.

In line with this, Platts also proposes to remove the related eWindow instruments.

Platts proposes to discontinue the following assessments:

ABWAA00, AALTA00, AALTC00, AALTF00, AALTH00, AAQDU00, AAQDV00, AALT007, AALT008, AALT009, AALT010, AALT011, AALT012, AALT013, AALT014, AALT015, AALT016, AALT017, AALT018, AALT019, AALT020, AALT021, AALT022, AALT023, AALT024, AALTJ00, AALTL00, AALTN00, AALTU00, AALTQ05, AALTQ06, AALTQ07, AALTQ08, AALTW00, AAQDW00, ABWAB00, AAYTG00, AAYTH00, AAYTI00, AAYTJ00, AAQDY00, AAQDZ00, AAYT007, AAYT008, AAYT009, AAYT010, AAYT011, AAYT012, AAYT013, AAYT014, AAYT015, AAYT016, AAYT017, AAYT018, AAYT019, AAYT020, AAYT021, AAYT022, AAYT023, AAYT024, AAYTK00, AAYTL00, AAYTM00, AAYTN00, AAYTQ05, AAYTQ06, AAYTQ07, AAYTQ08, AAYTO00, AAQEA00, APEBM01, APE0102, APE0203, APE0304, APE0405, APE0506, APE0607, APE0708, APE0809, APE0910, APE1011, APE1112, APE1213, APE1314, APE1415, APE1516, APE1617, APE1718, APE1819, APE1920, APE2021, APE2122, APE2223, APE2324, ATQ0102, ATQ0203, ATQ0304, ATQ0405, ATQ0506, ATQ0607, ATQ0708, ATY0102, AQEBM01, AQE0102, AQE0203, AQE0304, AQE0405, AQE0506, AQE0607, AQE0708, AQE0809, AQE0910, AQE1011, AQE1112, AQE1213, AQE1314, AQE1415, AQE1516, AQE1617, AQE1718, AQE1819, AQE1920, AQE2021, AQE2122, AQE2223, AQE2324, AGQ0102, AGQ0203, AGQ0304, AGQ0405, AGQ0506, AGQ0607, AGQ0708 and AUY0102.
