Platts proposes intraday values for STS Lome gasoline, diesel and jet fuel price assessments

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, proposes to publish intraday prices for the existing Gasoline STS Lome (ABNWG00), Low Sulfur Diesel STS Lome (ABNWF00) and Jet FOB STS Lome (AJWAA00) price assessments, effective July 13, 2026.

Platts has noted shifting pricing dynamics in the West African refined products market, and an increasing desire for transparency throughout the day to accommodate intraday market activity. Market feedback has highlighted the need for price assessments reflecting multiple daily timestamps, which may improve market participants' ability to trigger the price of refined products throughout the day.

Platts is proposing to publish three outright values of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel on an STS Lome basis, in line with the existing methodology for the gasoline, low-sulfur diesel and jet fuel STS Lome price assessments. Values would be published at 10:30 am, 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm London time.

These will accompany the existing Platts STS Lome price assessments reflecting the market value at 4:30 pm London, published in European Marketscan. The intraday assessments will appear on Platts Global Alert and Platts Refined Products Alert fixed page 1122.
