Platts to launch gasoil EFS at 16:30 London time May 5

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will launch assessments for the gasoil exchange of futures for swaps (EFS), timestamped at 16:30 London time, effective May 5, 2026.

The decision updates a proposal subscriber note, published Feb. 18 and available here.

Effective May 5, Platts will launch new assessments of the gasoil EFS for the balance-of-month, month 1, month 2 and month 3 derivative contracts, for ICE low sulfur gasoil futures/Singapore 10 ppm gasoil EFS at 16:30 London time, expressed in $/mt.

The balance-of-month EFS would be published through to the day prior to the midday expiry of the relevant ICE LSGO futures contract.

The EFS contract is a widely tracked financial derivative, measuring the difference in value between ICE gasoil futures and the corresponding Singapore gasoil swaps settled against Platts FOB Singapore 10 ppm gasoil assessments. The proposal follows market feedback to further capture the value difference between regions for ultra low sulfur diesel in the forward market.

Platts already assesses the ICE gasoil/Singapore 10 ppm gasoil EFS timestamped at 16:30 Singapore time. The assessment codes can be found here.
