SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to discontinue daily In-Warehouse Singapore Lead Premium

Platts is proposing to discontinue publication of the daily In-Warehouse Singapore Lead Premium (MMANG00) by December 31, 2014. Preliminary market research shows that this premium is no longer representative in the industry, due to a lack of market liquidity and interest. With the discontinuation of the in-warehouse Singapore lead premium, Platts will also cease to publish the daily In-warehouse Singapore Fixed Price Equivalent for Lead (MMPSW00), which is an automated price based on current LME lead price plus the assessed lead premium. Should the discontinuations be finalized after further industry consultation, the final publication of these values will be on December 31, 2014. Please send all questions and feedback to alvin.yee@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com by September 1, 2014. 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.
