Subscriber Note: Platts proposes to increase frequency of Export FOB Antwerp sugar assessment

Platts proposes to increase the frequency of its Export (Premium to Ldn 5) - FOB Antwerp sugar assessment from a monthly to a weekly basis.

This assessment is established as an indicator of out-of-quota white sugar exported on a FOB basis from the location of Antwerp. Price assessments reflect EU 45 ICUMSA white sugar of standard quality and a maximum ICUSMA of 45 and meeting EEC No 2. The assessment is published as a premium to the ICE White Sugar Futures front-month contract.

This follows the launch of the EU Sugar Weekly, a new publication providing pricing and news information on the regional sugar market.
