Platts to launch US dollars to Canadian dollars foreign exchange rate assessment at London close

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will launch a new foreign exchange rate for US dollars to Canadian dollars assessed at the London close, effective March 1, 2023.

The exchange rate will be used to convert the East Coast Canada crude assessments into Canadian dollars per cubic meter. The crude grades are assessed in dollars/barrel to reflect value at the London close, and there will be no change to those assessments.

Platts will continue assessing US dollars to Canadian dollars at the US close, which will be used in conversions for Western Canadian grades that are assessed at that time.

The assessment would affect the following converted numbers:

Hebron (C$/CM) AHEBB00

Hibernia (C$/CM) AALSN00

Terra Nova (C$/CM) AALSP00

White Rose (C$/CM) AAVPI00
