Platts to launch E10 Eurobob Non-Oxy derivative assessments

S&P Global Platts will publish assessments of three monthly financial derivatives contracts that settle against its physical E10 Eurobob Gasoline barge FOB AR assessment (Code: AGEFA00), with effect from January 13, 2020.

Platts launched its physical E10 Eurobob Gasoline barge FOB AR assessment on August 5, 2019. The launch of the assessment followed growth in the market for gasoline with higher levels of biofuels, as key European markets transition to this emerging standard.

Full details of the Platts E10 Eurobob Gasoline barge FOB AR assessment are available in the following subscriber note, published June 26, 2019. www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/062619-platts-to-launch-non-oxygenated-e10-eurobob-gasoline-barge-fob-ar-assessment This decision follows a period of industry feedback.

This change was first proposed in a note published December 18: www.spglobal.com/platts/en/our-methodology/subscriber-notes/121819-platts-proposes-to-launch-e10-europbob-non-oxy-derivative-assessment Under the decision, Platts will publish derivatives assessments for balance month and two subsequent calendar months. The metric ton-to-barrel conversion factor for the derivatives contracts will be 8.33 -- in line with the conversion factor for Platts’ physical gasoline assessments.
