Platts proposes to change publishing schedule for Asia Palm, POME and PME assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is proposing to change the publishing schedule from Singapore to Penang calendar for its Asia Palm, POME and PME assessments, with effect from July 1, 2024 .

Platts would also adopt a Malaysia Time timestamp for its Asia Palm, POME and PME coverage.

This proposed change is to align the calendar with one of the largest palm producers globally and reflect the geographic focus of the palm industry.

The following assessments will be affected by this change in publishing schedule:

Assessment Name Assessment Code
CPO CFR WC India Mo01 ACPOE00
CPO CFR WC India Mo02 ACPOB00
CPO FOB Indonesia Mo01 ACPOD00
CPO FOB Indonesia Mo02 ACPOA00

Biodiesel FOB SE Asia $/Mt AAVSV00
PME vs Crude Palm Oil $/mt UCFCE00
