Folks, we have to be fair and start with the passing of two benchmarks. One death is official and for the other the coroner still hasn’t shown up to issue the death certificate. So, stuff can happen in the lives of benchmarks. They die! The Chinese interred a pointy steel knife in the IODEX benchmark used to benchmark iron ore. As it happens a member of The Officials birthed such number, name and specs for the iron. So, we are sad, but the IODEX death demonstrates change can happen.
The Officials publish outright values, spreads, cracks and boxes for the main energy commodities traded in the marketplace. The published values are determined independently and on a fair market basis by our team of dedicated professionals.
We invite you to read our reports, which are published twice a day, reflecting closing values at 16:30 Singapore time (SGT) and at 16:30 London time (GMT/BST). For any comments, please reach out to us through the emails provided in the signed documents.
