SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to extend distillate derivatives curve

Platts will extend its ultra low sulfur diesel, gasoil and jet derivative assessments beyond January 2015, with effect from September 1, 2014. The announcement follows a proposal made on May 21 to reflect growing market liquidity in those contracts. On April 29, ICE announced it would suspend the low sulfur gasoil futures contract from next year. Instead, ICE said its legacy gasoil futures contract would be extended and reflect the ultra low sulfur diesel specification from the February 2015 contract onwards.
