SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to discontinue Urals CFD outrights on August 1

Effective August 1, Platts will no longer publish outright values associated with Northwest European and Mediterranean Urals CFD markets. Platts is discontinuing these values, which are generated by applying assessed CFD values to Dated Brent, following feedback from the market that providing these outright values is not valuable. These markets trade as differentials, and Platts will continue to publish assessments for those differentials in both the Northwest European and Mediterranean Urals CFD markets. These assessments will continue to be published on Platts Global Alert page 1616 and 1618, respectively, and in Platts Crude Oil Marketwire. Please send any comments or questions to europe_products@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com. For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
