SUBSCRIBER NOTE: No Platts Americas oil assessments on Dec 26

Platts confirms it will amend its publication schedule for Friday, December 26, 2014 and not publish any oil assessments from its offices in the US on that day in observance of the Christmas holiday.

Platts had proposed waiting for feedback until December 3 prior to publishing a decision on this proposal. However, in response to widespread feedback favoring a decision before the start of the new trading month, Platts is publishing its decision before the start of December.

Platts will maintain its current publication schedule for Wednesday, December 24, 2014; Wednesday, December 31, 2014 and Friday, January 2, 2015 on which days its assessment processes will close early.

All assessments and Market-on-Close processes will be basis 1:30 pm Eastern time on those days.
