Platts proposes changes to regional and futures commentaries in Gas Daily, Energy Trader

In order to bring more concise and relevant market coverage to our customers, S&P Global Platts proposes to redesign the four regional commentaries in Gas Daily, and the discontinuation of the NYMEX Natural Gas Futures daily market commentary beginning June 15, 2020.

For the regional commentaries, Platts proposes to redesign the Northeast Gas Markets, Central Gas Markets, Southeast Gas Markets and West Gas Markets regional commentaries in Gas Daily and Energy Trader from block text to a bullet-point format. The proposed redesign would continue to highlight key price drivers and market fundamentals, but in a more concise and easy to read manner.

All existing charts on the four regional pages will remain and be unchanged.

In addition, Platts proposes to discontinue the daily NYMEX Natural Gas Futures commentary. NYMEX contract price movements will continue to be covered periodically in market-driven news stories, as well as in the existing daily 24-month pricing table.

The above proposed redesign and discontinuations would take effect in the June 15, 2020 Gas Daily and Energy Trader issues published on June 12, 2020.
