SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Secure FTP site migration deadline extended until April 12

S&P Global Platts thanks our subscribers for your attention to our efforts to migrate our legacy Platts Market Data FTP sites to new, more secure sites that can only be accessed using the secure FTP (SFTP) protocol. This migration affirms our commitment to data protection and cybersecurity by delivering data only over encrypted, secure and compliant protocols.

Our priority is to ensure a seamless transition for subscribers to our more secure sites. After assessing subscribers' current requirements, we are extending the deadline for migration to Friday, April 12.
