Managing Your Price Risks in Volatile Markets

Challenge: Volatility in oil markets meant a national oil company in Asia struggled to keep pace with prices and market developments when purchasing crude and refined oil products. Without access to timely information, they didn’t understand the underlying dynamics driving domestic and international markets and were consequently exposed to significant price risks.

Solution: We equipped them with crude and refined Market Data packages that include transactional pricing. Add vessel tracking from our Market Insight package, and it means they can now track margins and develop more robust forward plans.

Results: Armed with real-time pricing and analysis, they can confidently negotiate with foreign counterparties, mitigate pricing risk for cargoes being tendered, and optimize crude and refined product imports. The market data and insights we provide have also enabled them to understand and manage risks associated with refining margins, and they’re now better able to optimize these margins.
