SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts adds assessment rationales for global petchems

As part of Platts' continued commitment to market transparency, Platts will start publishing assessment rationales for key petrochemical assessments in Asia, Europe and America.

These new rationales complement existing market analysis and commentaries by providing specific details regarding how Platts editors arrived at these published assessments.

The new rationales will appear in key Platts petrochemical publications, including Platts Europe and Americas Petrochemicalscan, Olefinscan and Polymerscan and on new pages on Platts Petrochemical Alert.

A list of Petrochemical Alert pages is available online.

Platts will complete the roll-out of these rationales with assessments from January 5, 2015.
