Effective on trade date Monday July 10, 2017, Commodity Exchange, Inc. (“COMEX” or “Exchange”) will implement administrative amendments to COMEX Rule 109102.E. (“Termination of Trading”) of the Aluminum Japan Premium (Platts) Futures contract (the “Contract”) (Rulebook Chapter 109; Commodity Code: MJP).  Specifically, the amendments are being made to align the definition of the last trading day of the Contract with Platts’ publication calendar for the price assessment.  Platts recently revised its publication timetable for this assessment such that the assessment will not be published on additional Japanese and UK holidays.  The last trading day for existing contract months shall remain unchanged.
