Subscriber note: Med Dated Brent Strip 13-28 Day assessment rationale Aug 12-14

Please note that during the period August 12-14 the Mediterranean Dated Brent Strip 13-28 Day assessment rationale was not published in the Crude Oil Marketwire or on its usual Platts Global Alert page 1287. The assessment commentary for all three days has now been back-filled to appear on the relevant page and is below, effective for all three missing days. "The Mediterranean Dated Brent Strip reflected the value of Forward Dated Brent 13-28 days ahead of the day of publication. Forward Dated Brent is assessed as a function of Platts' assessments of second-month Cash BFOE and BFOE CFD differentials."
