Subscriber Note: Platts to launch expanded 1630 London time sugar futures assessments

Effective March 30, 2015, Platts will publish an expanded range of daily assessments for ICE White Sugar Futures (LIFFE 5) and Sugar No. 11 Futures at 1630 London time.

The new range of assessments will include the first three contracts listed by the exchange for each futures' contract from the date of publication. This builds upon Platts' existing front-month contract assessments for both ICE Sugar No. 11 and White Sugar Futures.

Platts would maintain a rolling schedule in line with the ICE expiration schedules for each futures contract.

These assessments will appear in a range of Platts sugar reports, and in the Platts price database. The new symbol codes will be announced at a later date. Please send any comments or questions by March 13, 2015, to europe_ags@platts.com and pricegroup@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.
