Platts to make Dec. 27, 2021 non-publishing day, adds early closes in Singapore

S&P Global Platts will make Monday, Dec. 27, 2021, a non-publishing day for commodity price assessments in Singapore, in line with Christmas holidays elsewhere, and publish assessments on certain other days through the year at an earlier close, ahead of regional holidays.

No assessments or services out of Singapore will be published on Dec. 27, which is also the observed Christmas holiday in the UK and parts of Europe. The US price assessment hub in Houston will observe the Christmas holiday on Dec. 24, 2021.

Platts aims to publish assessments at times of broad market activity and liquidity, particularly in the physical markets, and early feedback suggests that a non-publishing day for Singapore when the UK is also closed observing the Christmas holiday helps mitigate any impact from possible lower-than-usual East/West trading, at a time of year when activity is commonly already at reduced levels.

Platts will also have early closes to the Platts Market on Close assessment process (12:30 pm SGT) on the following dates in Singapore:

Feb 11 2021 Day before Lunar New Year

Apr 1 2021 Day before Good Friday

May 12, 2021 Day before Hari Raya Puasa

May 25, 2021 Day before Vesak Day

July 19, 2021 Day before Hari Raya Haji

Nov 3, 2021 Day before Deepavali

Dec 24, 2021 Christmas Eve
