SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts discontinues OTC hedge price monitor

Effective May 2, 2016, Platts has discontinued the weekly OTC Hedge Price Monitor that ran every Friday in Platts Coal Trader.

Due to evolving market conditions, Platts believes there is no longer sufficient need to publish a weekly average of the prompt quarter and prompt year physical assessments for the CAPP Barge, CAPP rail (CSX), PRB 8,800 and PRB 8,400 futures contracts.

The affected codes are as follows: CAPP barge OTC: CHNQ001, CHNQ002, CHNQ003, CHNY001 CAPP rail (CSX) OTC: CHKQ001, CHKQ002, CHKQ003, CHKY001 PRB 8,800 OTC: CHAQ001, CHAQ002, CHAQ003, CHAY001 PRB 8,400 OTC: CHBQ001, CHBQ002, CHBQ003, CHBY001
