S&P Global proposes to launch half-month average FOB Santos Brazil soybeans June 1

S&P Global Commodity Insights proposes to launch two half-month averages for Platts SOYBEX FOB Santos Brazil soybeans, effective June 1, 2022.

The proposed calculated values would bring greater transparency to the average of the half month daily FOB Santos US dollar per metric ton price assessment (SYBBB00). The first half-month average would be calculated using the daily price from the first to 15th days of the calendar month, the second half-month average would be calculated from the 16th to the end of the calendar month.

S&P Global proposes that the calculations would be published in $/mt on Platts Agriculture Alert and under the oilseeds market data category.

Please send any feedback, questions or comments on the proposed half-month averages by April 26, 2022 to americas_ags@spglobal.com and pricegroup@spglobal.com.
