S&P Global adds Marine Fuel 0.5%S FOB Rotterdam barge balance-month/M1 intermonth spread as selectable swaps instrument to eWindow technology

S&P Global Commodity Insights has launched the 0.5%S MF FOB Rotterdam barge balance-month versus month-1 intermonth spread as a selectable swaps instrument for its Platts 0.5%S marine fuel assessments through eWindow technology from April 4, 2022.

Participants in the Platts Market on Close assessment process from S&P Global will be able to submit bids or offers for this instrument for publication directly through the eWindow communication tool, or may do so through an editor who would then publish bids and offers using the software.

The change means that any balance-month/M1 swaps indication published on eWindow would be subject to existing eWindow timings and increments for European Fuel Oil swaps spreads, which can be found here: https://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/plattscontent/_assets/_files/en/our-methodology/methodology-specifications/oil-timing-increment-guidelines.pdf
