Subscriber note: Platts to move certain US crude data in database

Platts proposes to relocate certain US crude assessments from the RI (London-close crude assessments) data category to the RU (Houston-close crude assessments) data category in Platts Market Assessment database to reflect the fact those assessments represent the value of crudes at the close of trading in the US. Platts expects these codes will be moved from current market data categories to RU with effect from May 1, 2014. A full table of affected assessments is provided below. Please send questions and/or comments to PGA@platts.com by November 30, 2013.
