Platts discontinues FOB Middle East quarterly sulfur price and accompanying range, average prices Sept. 25

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, has discontinued its FOB Middle East quarterly contract sulfur price assessment (FSSMF04) and the accompanying range and monthly average prices, effective Sept. 25.

This follows market feedback and reflects fundamental changes in pricing terms between buyers and sellers in the contractual sulfur market. Due to the contract price discontinuation, the full range price (FSSME04) and its associated monthly average (FSSME03) have also been discontinued due to the contract element of the range assessment.

The following prices have been discontinued:

These assessments were published in the weekly Fertecon Sulfur Market Report, in Platts data channels, on S&P Global Connect and on Energy Core. Platts continues to assess its FOB Middle East, Spot (Granular) sulfur range price (FSSMG04) and its FOB Middle East, Spot, excl. Iran (Granular) sulfur price (FSSMH04).

Platts decided to discontinue the above sulfur prices July 10 in a subscriber note available here, following a proposal June 23.
