Platts changes Americas rice assessments timestamp
Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has changed the timestamp of its daily US and South American rice assessments, effective Feb. 2.
The assessments have been moved from a 4:30 pm London timestamp to a 5:30 pm Sao Paulo timestamp and now follow the Sao Paulo publishing calendar, rather than the London publishing calendar.
The change aligns Platts' assessments with local trading hours in the Americas.
The change was first communicated on Jan. 20.
