OPR, US Marketscan will report weekend rack prices starting June 1

Commodity: Oil Region: Americas Starting June 1, 2009, Platts plans to extend its daily US Wholesale Posted Prices coverage in Oilgram Price Report and the US Marketscan to include Saturday and holiday prices. Previously, wholesale posted (rack) prices for Saturday and holidays were available only to subscribers of Platts' realtime and FTP Dispatch data services.

Saturday Rack prices, provided by DTN, will be made available to subscribers of Platts Oilgram Price Report, OPR Extra and the US Marketscan.

OPR Extra and US Marketscan subscribers will receive a stand-alone publication with the Saturday wholesale prices, which will be sent as a PDF Monday morning US East Coast time.

Oilgram Price Report subscribers will receive the Saturday wholesale prices in every Tuesday issue of the publication. The publication dates for holiday wholesale prices and for weeks when Monday is a holiday will be announced prior to each holiday.
