Global oil assessments, MOC close over April 1-5

Please note that all Platts offices will be closed on Friday, April 2, in observance of national holidays around the world.

There will be no crude oil, refined products, petrochemical or shipping assessments globally on April 2.

Platts will bring forward its European and Asian assessment processes by four hours on Thursday, April 1, to reflect early closes in those markets.

On April 1, oil assessment processes will close at 12:30 local time in London and Singapore for MOC markets, and at 13:30 Singapore time for Asian bunker fuel.

All other timings will be congruent with a 12:30 Singapore time close.

Additionally, and as previously advised in a subscriber note earlier this month, there will be no assessments for those markets from Platts London office on Monday, April 5.

Platts US and Asia assessments will resume as normal on April 5.
