Platts to launch a restructured M2M Gas product

Platts plans to launch its M2MS-Gas product on July 1st 2013 This new product will provide M2MS Forward Curves daily for 120-months (10 years) for Natural Gas for all 79 Natural Gas hubs in North America, currently covered by the Platts M2M Gas product. The M2MS-Gas product will also contain as an add-on, daily 120-month Historical Volatility Curves for all of the hubs. Once a month, a 240-month (20-year) version of all forward and volatility curves will be provided. The curves will be broken up into five regional packages. A sixth package, containing the curves associated only with Platts editorial hubs, i.e. hubs for which Platts editors provide daily assessments of Natural Gas forward prices, will also be available. The M2MS-Gas product will replace the currently produced M2M Gas one.

All new symbols will be distributed only through three character Market data categories. These changes are reflected in above mentioned symbol files. These changes apply to M2Ms data only.
