Subscriber note: Platts to align NWE benzene forward curve month roll

Following market feedback, Platts has decided to align the timing of the month roll in the NWE benzene CIF ARA forward PHYSICAL CURVE with that of the NWE M1/M2 benzene spot assessments. The timing of the monthly roll for the CIF ARA forward PHYSICAL CURVE will now take place five UK working days before the first working day of the next contractual month. The NWE benzene forward curve will be aligned with NWE M1/M2 benzene spot assessments to roll on April 24, 2013. For example, the months M3, M4 and M5 to be assessed on April 24, 2013 will roll from June, July and August to July, August and September.
