Suspension of Asia PFC monthly averages

Following reader feedback, Platts proposes to suspend publication of monthly average data for its daily assessments of oil market forward curves in Asia.

This suspension would only affect monthly averages that are calculated for assessments of oil market derivatives. Platts would continue to publish all other monthly averages, including monthly averages of assessments for the physical oil markets, as normal. Platts Asia PFC monthly averages are only published in Platts' price database, in dispatch category DA.

Platts requests comments and feedback by July 31, 2011. Please send comments to asia_derivatives@platts.com.
