Launch Subnote Platts amends Sunflower Oil FOB Black Sea market on close timestamp

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has updated the timestamp reflected in its European Sunflower Oil FOB Black Sea (SFWBL00) assessment to 1630 London time from 1700 London time, with effect from June 5.

Platts proposed amending the timestamp on April 3, in a subscriber note available here: https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/040323-platts-proposes-to-amend-sunflower-oil-fob-black-sea-market-on-close-time-stamp, and a decision note available here: https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/051623-platts-decides-to-amend-sunflower-oil-fob-black-sea-market-on-close-timestamp.

The change brings the assessment in line with Platts' other vegetable oil assessments, including the existing CIF Rotterdam Crude Palm Oil (ACPOC00) and Crude Palm Kernel Oil (ACPKA00) assessments, as well as the recent daily FOB Dutch Mill Crude Rapeseed Oil assessment, which launched April 25. The subscriber note for that assessment launch can be found here: https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/042523-platts-launches-crude-rapeseed-oil-assessment-fob-dutch-mill.

Bids, offers, trades and indicative values will only be considered for the assessment if they are received before the 1630 London time market on close cutoff.
