Platts revises futures calculation in the Export price equivalent – ex-works European sugar assessment

Platts has revised the futures calculation in the 'Export price equivalent – ex-works' assessment (SGBCC00), effective July 29.

This follows a proposal note, which was published on June 1 here:

The price was previously calculated using the previous day's London 16:30 timestamped assessment for the front-month contract of ICE White Sugar Futures.

Platts has revised this calculation to reflect the assessment on the same day.
