Fastmarkets to change the timestamp of several agriculture prices

Fastmarkets plans to change the timestamp of several of its agriculture prices linked to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and MIAX Futures Exchange to align the time of publication with the exchanges’ settlement time. The change in timestamp will affect both premiums and outright prices that use those futures as an underlying benchmark, with the change to take effect on May 11.

This aims to better align Fastmarkets’ prices with market dynamics and trading activities across regions, changing Fastmarkets’ timestamp from 1pm US Eastern Time or 6pm London time to the CME and MIAX settlement at 1:15pm US Central Time.
