SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to assess white sugar premiums in increments of 25 cents/mt

S&P Global Platts will publish Thai and Brazil white sugar premiums in increments of 25 cents/mt effective August 28, 2017. This change is to reflect transactions reported at smaller increments than $1/mt, representing a higher degree of precision.

The change will impact the Brazil white sugar premium assessments of a maximum ICUMSA of 150 quality, published as a premium to the front-month contract of ICE Sugar No. 11 futures published under Platts price code SGABD00 for breakbulk and SGACE00 for container.

The change will also impact the Brazil white sugar premium assessments of a maximum ICUMSA of 45 quality, published as a premium to the front-month contract of ICE White Sugar futures, published under Platts price code SGACA00 for breakbulk and SGADB00 for container.

The change will also impact the Thai white sugar premium assessment of a maximum ICUMSA of 45 quality, published as premiums to the prior day settlement for the front-month contract of ICE White Sugar futures, published under Platts price code SGACC00 for breakbulk and SGADD00 for containers.

The assessments appear in the S&P Global Platts Kingsman Daily Sugar Market Report, on Platts Agriculture Alert real time service on page PA2510 for Thai sugar and PA0510 for Brazil sugar assessments and in the Platts database under the previously stated price codes.
