SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to widen FOB Black Sea slab assessment window

S&P Global Platts is proposing to widen the assessment window for its weekly spot FOB Black Sea slab price to 4-8 weeks, from the current 6-8 weeks.

Platts proposes to widen the assessment window from April 1, 2018.

Widening the window would allow Platts to capture more liquidity from Black Sea ports.

Please send any feedback on the proposal by March 12 to Colin Richardson, colin.richardson@spglobal.com, Katya Bouckley, katya.bouckley@spglobal.com and pricemethodology@spglobal.com.
