CLARIFICATION note: Asia physical naphtha assessments roll Feb 17

Platts will use the H2 March, H1 April and H2 April cycles in its CFR Japan naphtha assessment and related assessments until February 14, 2014. The physical roll will take place as usual on February 17, Monday. This follows previously established procedures and published methodology. However, Singapore naphtha swaps will roll on February 17, making the front-month swap to be March on this date, also in line with published methodology. Singapore swaps assessments are typically rolled on the first working day after the 15th of the month, but the first working day will be after the 14th of the month in February because of the short month.
