Platts changes publishing schedule for Platts JKM balance month-next day derivatives assessment

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has changed the publishing schedule of the Platts JKM balance month-next day derivatives assessment, effective March 1, 2024.

Platts JKM balance month-next day derivatives assessment publishes from the first assessment day for a delivery month to the sixth last assessment day for the same delivery month.

For example, Platts publishes JKM balance month-next day April derivatives assessment from Feb. 16, 2024 to March 8, 2024.

This is against the previous assessment period which ran from the first assessment day for a delivery month to the third last assessment day for the same delivery month.

This change is in line with lower liquidity observed in the trading of balance month-next day derivatives during the last five assessment days for a delivery month.
