Subscriber note: Platts to launch US gasoline component assessments December 3

Further to its proposal published on October 18, 2012, Platts confirms that it will launch outright prices assessments for US Gulf Coast alkylate, raffinate, and reformate, and additionally publish the spreads for those products versus Platts' US Gulf Coast, front-line 87-unleaded pipeline assessments prevailing at 3:15 pm ET. These assessments will be launched on December 3. Platts continues to invite comments on its proposal to discontinue its existing alkylate, raffinate, and reformate differential assessments to the Platts' US Gulf Coast gasoline waterborne assessment. Platts will continue to publish those differentials for the time being, but is considering discontinuing the waterborne-based differential assessments effective May 1, 2013.
