SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts revises FOB Korea, CFR Taiwan/China PX marker assessments

As previously announced, S&P Global Platts will move the three half-month marker laycans in the FOB Korea and CFR Taiwan/China paraxylene assessments forward by a half-month, simultaneously removing the prompt half-month laycan from the marker, from January 2, 2018.

For example, on January 2, 2018, the laycans for the FOB Korea and CFR Taiwan/China PX markers would be the second half of February (H2 February), H1 March and H2 March. On January 16, 2018, the marker laycans would be H1 March, H2 March and H1 April.

The oracle codes that comprise the markers in the Platts database are: AAQND00, AAXHF00 and AAQNG00 for FOB Korea; AAXHI00, AAXHJ00 and ABXHK00 for CFR Taiwan/China.
