Amendments to US 3:2:1 crack spread

Platts proposes to start publishing the US' 3:2:1 refiner crack spread reflecting NYMEX values for crude, RBOB and heating oil at exactly 3:15 pm Eastern Time (ET) beginning November 1, 2010.

The new crack spread will be published concurrently with the existing 3:2:1 crack spread, which reflects NYMEX closing values at 2:30 pm (ET).

Platts is seeking comments on the possibility of discontinuing the latter.

The 3:2:1 crack spread appears in the Platts Refiner.
