Platts to suspend ARA benzene forwards on PGA
New York (Platts)--30Jul2010/1224 pm EDT/1624 GMT
Effective September 1, 2010, Platts will discontinue Page 619 (PPE619) from
Platts Global Alert's European Forward Curve add-on service, as this is a
duplicate of the benzene physical forward prices found on page 60 (PCA060) of
Platts Petrochemical Alert.
The associated European oil derivatives market data codes found under the DR
category are mislabeled as "swaps" when they are, in fact, physical forwards.
The European physical forwards are found under the AE category. The AE codes
are correctly labeled.
The codes in the DR category will be renamed as physical forwards and
discontinued:
