Platts to rename US oil market commentary pages, suspend spillover pages

With effect from January 1, 2011, Platts will rename its series of US oil market commentary pages to bring additional clarity to the page series.

At the same time they will be lengthened, and associated spillover pages will be deleted. The overall length of commentaries will be unaffected by this change.
