SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to discontinue posted US ethylene contract assessment

Platts will discontinue its US ethylene posted contract price assessment from December 1, 2015.

The decision comes after a formal comment period. The change was first proposed May 15, 2015.

Market feedback indicates domestic business has moved away from referencing and using the posted price in contract settlements.

The assessment is also currently published in the Platts Petrochemical Alert on pages PC301 and PC006.

Affected assessments: Ethylene USG Posted CP cts/lb -- PHAJI00 Ethylene USG Posted CP cts/lb MAvg -- PHBDC03
