Expana Proposes Methodology Changes to the US By-Products Report: Removal of Selected Assessments

Expana is proposing to discontinue select US By-Products assessments as part of an ongoing review to ensure its price reporting continues to accurately reflect current market activity, trading patterns, and market prices.

Expana is collecting feedback from market participants until September 7, 2026.

The following items would be discontinued and removed from the US By-Products Report:

Expana proposes to implement these changes to the daily assessments in Q4 2026, pending stakeholder feedback.

 

The proposed assessments would reflect market and transactional data collected during the reporting period.
