SUBSCRIBER NOTE: S&P Global Platts clarifies US Gulf Coast MTBE methodology to reflect eWindow, assessment process

S&P Global Platts has updated the methodology for its US Gulf Coast MTBE assessment to reflect that its Market-on-Close assessment process is facilitated through the eWindow technology.

In the absence of spot information, S&P Global Platts may consider pricing information in related markets, including, but not limited to, achievable net-forward values using Northwest Europe pricing on an FOB ARA basis and corresponding freight rates, to establish a basis for assessment.

For further details, please consult the Americas Petrochemicals Methodology and the Petrochemicals Timing and Increment Guidelines on www.platts.com.

The US Gulf Coast MTBE assessment (PHAKY00) appears daily on PCA205 and PGA380.
