SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to discontinue current palm oil/gasoil spread assessment

Platts proposes to discontinue its current assessment for the palm oil/gasoil spread (PO-GO) from May 15, 2015, as Platts is also proposing to launch a new PO-GO spread that is more representative of current market activity.

The current POGO spread, under the code BMAAA00, reflects the value of first -month gasoil futures traded on the Intercontinental Exchange, or ICE, against first-month crude palm oil futures listed on Bursa Malaysia, or BMD, traded at 4:30 pm Singapore time (0830 GMT).

Platts is proposing to assess a new POGO spread that reflects the value of the first forward month contract for BMD palm oil futures against front-month ICE gasoil futures.

The current POGO assessment is published in the Platts database under the code BMAAA00, and in the PBF publication Biofuelscan.
