Platts eyes ending Chicago off-road diesel assessment

Beginning May 1, 2011, and owing to very low production of off-road diesel fuel in the US Midwest and the subsequent absence of spot market activity in this market, Platts proposes to discontinue the Chicago low sulfur off-road diesel fuel assessment.

Platts introduced the off-road low-sulfur diesel FOB Chicago Pipeline assessment with code AATGU00 on May 1, 2006, and it currently appears on Platts Global Alert page 572, in Oilgram Price Report and US Marketscan.
