SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts publishes rationale for Japan Aluminum Premium

Platts has started publishing an assessment rationale effective January 15, 2016, that reflects how the daily Japan Spot Aluminum Premium is derived. The rationale, published daily on MW0011, consists of mainly market information gathered during the day, particularly bids, offers, and trades received from market participants, which impact the assessment of the spot premium for the day.

The rationale highlights the information used in the assessment process for that day and explains why some of the information may be excluded at times.

Please send any questions and feedback to mayumi.watanabe@platts.com or yuencheng.mok@platts.com.

For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing.

Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
