Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has corrected the ULSD 10ppmS CIF NWE Cargo <AAVBG00> assessment rationale for Jan. 16, which should read as follows:

The CIF NWE diesel cargo assessment was based on the following input, expressed as differentials to the front-month ICE LSGO futures contract:

Value on Feb. 4 was assessed at $11.75/mt below a competitive offer in the Platts MOC assessment process.

The previously established paper structure of around 17 cents/mt in backwardation was then applied to the rest of the curve.

Exclusions: the following bid was excluded due to non-adherence to Platts guidelines: BBENERGYLTD Bid [15:43:56], Bilbao, Sun 26 Jan - Thu 30 Jan, Main: 27kt, "optol"" ?: "" 0-6 kt in SO diff as per main , pricing COD + 3 quotations (COD=0) ?
