Subscriber note: Platts proposes to align NWE benzene forward curve month roll

Platts invites feedback on its proposal to align the timing of month roll in the NWE benzene CIF ARA forward physical curve with that of the NWE M1/M2 benzene spot assessments. The timing of monthly roll for the CIF ARA forward physical curve would therefore be moved forward from the first calendar day of each month to the fifth UK working day prior to the first UK working day of the first contractual month. For example, the months M3, M4 and M5 assessed on February 22, 2013 will roll from April, May and June to May, June and July.
