SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to discontinue certain crude oil, refined product indices

S&P Global Platts is to discontinue a series of indices from the crude oil and refined products markets as part of efforts to remove legacy indications. The discontinuation of these indices will take effect from June 1, 2018. This modifies an originally proposed date of May 1, 2018.

This follows a proposal on discontinuing these indices published by Platts on February 27, 2018, and reflects feedback received. The relevant subscriber note is available here: https://www.platts.com/subscriber-notes-details/26899341 For a complete list of all affected indices and their PGA codes, please see the table below:
