SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to assess Mediterranean premium gasoline swaps

Platts confirms that it will launch assessments for FOB Mediterranean premium unleaded 10 ppm gasoline swaps with effect from March 3. Platts will add these assessments to its coverage following notable liquidity demonstrated in 2013. This follows a review of feedback to a subscriber note proposing these assessments that was published December 20, 2013. These new assessments initially will reflect the balance month, front month and second month swaps values in US dollars per metric ton. Assessments will be published as outright values, and as a differential to the Eurobob Gasoline FOB ARA Barge swaps assessments for the same months (currently published on Platts Forward Curve Europe, its real-time derivatives information service, on page 1636). Platts will publish these new assessments on PFC Europe page 1637, market database symbols to be announced shortly. Platts welcomes all further feedback and questions to europe_products@platts.com, with a cc to 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.
