SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Publishing trades of non-competitive bids and offers

Platts would like to remind market participants that for the Platts Market on Close assessment process for crude oil and refined oil products, Platts will only publish expressions of interest to trade of the most competitive, tradeable bid or offer available.

Platts will exclude transactions, bids/offers or any market indications when these appear to be unrepresentative of the market, or unrepeatable. Deals done below the level of prevailing bids or above the level of prevailing offers (i.e., selling through the bid or buying through the offer) will not be reflected in Platts assessments.

Please send all queries and feedback to oilgroup@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com.

For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked as confidential available upon request.
