NYMEX discontinues 3:15 ET minute markers

Effective May 10, Platts will discontinue publishing the NYMEX 3:15 pm Eastern Time Minute-Markers for light sweet crude, RBOB and heating oil futures.

The NYMEX effective May 10 delisted those contracts, citing a lack of open interest.

The Minute-Markers appeared on Platts Global Alert 766, in Dispatch, Crude Oil Marketwire, US Marketscan, Oilgram Price Report, and North American Crude Wire.
