SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to end NWE MIBK, acetone T1 assessments Apr 1, 2015

Platts will discontinue its NWE methyl isobutyl (MIBK) and acetone T1 assessments from April 1, 2015. This decision note supersedes the previous note published on November 28 and alters the effective date. Following a comprehensive review of feedback, Platts reconsidered its initial proposal published June 10 to also discontinue price assessments for methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and will continue to publish weekly assessments for that product.

The assessments, which are to be discontinued, are found under the following codes in the Platts price database:

Acetone T1 FOB Rotterdam PHADK00 Monthly average: PHAYM03 MIBK FD NWE Eur/mt HPADX00 Monthly average: HPAYW03 MIBK FOB Rotterdam PHADY00 Monthly average: PHAYV03
