Discontinued North American power, natural gas symbols

Platts has discontinued a set of North American power and natural gas symbols that are no longer updating. They consist of: * Editorial forward assessments in market data categories DP (power) and GN (natural gas); and * M2M symbols in categories MP, MQ and MY (power), and GP, GQ and GY (natural gas)

All of the newly-discontinued symbols represent delivery periods in 2010 or earlier. This is an administrative change only; the symbols stopped updating because the delivery periods have now passed.
