Platts proposes to discontinue US West Coast gasoline forward curves

S&P Global Platts is proposing to discontinue its US West Coast gasoline derivative assessments, as well as related crack derivative assessments, effective March 8, 2021.

Platts publishes outrights, differentials and timespreads for 12 months and four quarters for US West Coast gasoline derivatives, as well as related WTI, Brent and Dubai crack derivative assessments for the same period.

Platts is proposing to discontinue these forward curves due to limited observed spot market activity in the derivatives market, as well as a lack of liquidity beyond the first two months of the curve.

The USWC gasoline outright derivative assessments settles against the Platts Los Angeles CARBOB gasoline prompt pipeline physical assessments over a calendar period, while the differential derivative assessments settle against the difference between the Platts Los Angeles CARBOB gasoline prompt pipeline physical assessments and the frontline NYMEX RBOB futures settlement price over a calendar period.

There will be no change to the underlying Platts physical assessments of Los Angeles gasoline.

The affected derivative assessments are:
