USDA Moves AWP Calculation to Far East Quotes
USDA has issued a final rule outlining the switch to Far East (FE) quotes for the purposes of determining the Adjusted World Price (AWP).

The change, which will be reflected in the announced AWP on Thursday, May 29, would allow the commencement of the 6-week blending period of current and forward quotes.
