Platts to change publishing schedule for Platts JKM balance month-next day derivatives assessment

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will change the publishing schedule of the Platts JKM balance month-next day derivatives assessment, effective March 1, 2024.

As a result of this change, Platts JKM balance month-next day derivatives assessment will be published from the first assessment day of a delivery month to the sixth last assessment day of the same delivery month.

For example, Platts will publish JKM balance month-next day April derivatives assessment from Feb. 16, 2024 to March 8, 2024.

This is against the current assessment period which runs from the first assessment day of a delivery month to the third last assessment day of the same delivery month.

This change is in line with lower liquidity observed in the trading of balance month-next day derivatives during the last five business days of an assessment period.

Platts first proposed the change Jan. 4, via a subscriber note here: https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/010424-platts-proposes-change-in-publishing-timing-for-platts-jkm-balance-month-next-day-derivatives-assessment
