Based on the feedback received by market participants, Platts will be making Friday, December 26, 2014 a holiday for both daily and bidweek natural gas trading as well as all Platts services and publications.

The treatment of December 26 as a holiday has several implications as listed below:

Natural Gas Pricing:

1. Gas Daily trades transacted on Wednesday, December 24 will be for flow Thursday, December 25-Monday, December 29.

2. December 26 is a bidweek holiday. Therefore January 2015 bidweek trading will encompass Tuesday, December 23; Wednesday, December 24; Monday, December 29; Tuesday, December 30; and Wednesday, December 31.

Power Pricing:

1. West power markets are trading on December 26. On Tuesday, December 23, they are trading for flow on December 24-26. On Friday, December 26, they are trading for flow on December 27-29.
