Platts proposes to discontinue sulfur CFR China spot and contract price assessment Feb. 6, 2025

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to discontinue its sulfur CFR China, Spot & Contract (Molten, Crushed, Granular) ($/mt) price assessment, effective Feb. 6, 2025.

The proposal to discontinue is based on the limited activity and transparency in the CFR China sulfur contract market, as well as the presence of a parallel assessment that assesses spot market activity for the same markets.

The sulfur CFR China, Spot & Contract (Molten, Crushed, Granular) assessment currently appears under the symbol FSSCB04.

The assessment appears in the Sulfur Market Report, and the Platts price database.

The proposed discontinuation will not impact the CFR China Spot (Molten, Crushed, Granular) (FSSCC04) assessment, which reflects an identical range of markets but includes only spot market information rather than both spot and contract data. This assessment will continue to be published.
