Platts to suspend duplicate US swaps data

As part of ongoing work to maintain and enhance transparency of Platts market data assessments, Platts proposes to relocate certain US fuel oil and LPG swaps assessments data from market data categories PZ (NY Harbor Fuel Oil), UZ (US Gulf Coast fuel oil) and LG (US LPG) to the DU (US Derivatives) category and ultimately suspend the mirrored DU codes, where the mirrored values exist. The relocation would be with effect from November 1, 2012.

Platts proposes to suspend mirrored codes in DU with effect from December 1. The assessments will continue to be found in market data category DU.

The codes to be moved in the database and the codes which will ultimately be suspended are listed in the table below.

Please send questions and/or comments by October 1 to PGA@platts.com.

These codes will be moved from current market data categories to DU with effect from November 1:
