Platts extends proposal on publishing timing for Platts JKM pricing month derivative assessment

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is extending the proposal with regards to the publishing schedule of the Platts JKM derivative assessment for the pricing month (symbol: LJKMO00).

Under the revised timeline, Platts is proposing to change the publishing schedule of the Platts JKM derivative assessment for the pricing month, effective June 16, 2025, instead of the previous date of May 16, 2025.

Under this proposal, Platts would only publish the Platts JKM pricing month derivative assessment from the first to the sixth last day that Platts assesses physical deliveries in the pricing month.

For example, Platts would publish JKM derivative assessment for the pricing month July, from May 16, 2025, to June 6, 2025. This is against the current assessment period, which will run from May 16, 2025, to June 13, 2025.

This proposal is based on market feedback and lower trading activity observed of the pricing month derivative contract during the last five assessment days.

This change would align the last publishing day of the JKM pricing month derivative assessment with that of the JKM balance-month next-day derivative assessment.

To maintain clarity, in the last five assessment days for physical deliveries in the pricing month, Platts would also not publish any floating physical bids or offers linked to the pricing month during the APAC physical LNG MOC process.

Please send feedback and questions to LNGeditorialteam@spglobal.com and pricegroup@spglobal.com by April 25, 2025.
