Subscriber note: Platts to launch S China jet differential assessment

Platts proposes to launch a new assessment of the physical market differential for jet fuel delivered to South China on a C+F basis. The differential assessment, planned for launch on July 2, 2012, would reflect the value of jet fuel trading as a premium or discount relative to the price published by Platts around the time of loading for jet fuel on an FOB Singapore basis. Platts has published an assessment of outright prices for C+F South China Jet since 1994. Since that time, market activity has evolved and counterparties now regularly bid, offer and trade the grade on a differential basis against Mean of Platts Singapore Jet Kero around cargo loading dates. The new assessment will be published on Platts Global Alert, in Asia Pacific/Arab Gulf Marketscan, and in the Platts price assessment database. Please send all comments and questions by June 15, 2012 to asia_products@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com.
