Platts to increase publication frequency of Brazil natural gas price assessments from weekly to daily

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will begin publishing its Brazil natural gas price assessments daily from Nov. 9, 2026, replacing the current weekly Thursday publication. The assessments will be published Monday through Friday on Brazilian business days.

The daily assessments will reflect anonymized bids and offers from GasHub, as well as information gathered through Platts' survey of market participants.

• A PM (preço da molécula) assessment, reflecting the molecule price, excluding transportation costs.
