SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to discontinue CFR South China gasoil 0.2% assessments

The discontinuation was first proposed February 12 and can be viewed at https://www.platts.com/subscriber-notes-details/27914492. The discontinuation stems from a lack of liquidity in the market underlying these physical assessment as the supply of spot gasoil cargoes from those locational hubs have decreased over the years.
