What does the Oil & Freight pricing product cover?
The product combines real‑time oil price indices with freight rates across major clean and dirty tanker routes in EMEA, APAC, and the Americas. Coverage includes crude oil and refined products, with configurable cost assumptions to support netback and delivered‑price analysis.
It allows clients to evaluate delivered prices and netbacks by connecting commodity pricing and shipping costs in a single, consistent framework, reflecting the true economics of moving oil from origin to destination.
Is the pricing real time?
Yes. The service is designed to support real‑time pricing, enabling users to evaluate delivered economics as oil prices or freight rates move throughout the trading day.
This supports intraday decision‑making, faster reaction to market events, and improved alignment between trading and hedging activity.
How is the data sourced and calculated?
Oil pricing is derived from Parameta Solutions’ exclusive OTC broker data sourced from TP ICAP Group brands, including ICAP, PVM, and TP, capturing real‑world negotiated prices.
Freight rates are supplied by Marex, leveraging its expertise in freight markets and FFA pricing.
These inputs are combined using Parameta Solutions’ proprietary calculation engine to produce consistent oil indices, delivered prices, and netback calculations, supported by documented methodologies and robust data validation.
Where can clients access the data?
Clients can access the data through a range of flexible delivery options, including:
- Interactive dashboards
- Direct data feeds (API, streaming, SFTP)
- Cloud platforms such as Snowflake
- Third‑party distribution channels, including Bloomberg and LSEG
Delivery methods are tailored to fit existing client infrastructure and workflows.
Does Parameta Solutions offer netback pricing?
Yes. Parameta has dynamic netback calculations reflecting the effective value of crude or refined products at origin, adjusted for freight and handling costs.
Why do oil and freight need to be priced together?
In today’s markets, freight is no longer a secondary cost – it is a price‑forming variable. Freight volatility, route disruptions, and vessel availability can materially impact margins, often faster than the underlying oil price.
Pricing oil without freight creates blind spots, timing mismatches, and hidden basis risk. By pricing both together, clients gain a clearer view of the total cost of trade, helping protect margins and improve decision‑making.
Who is this product designed for?
The Oil & Freight Pricing solution is designed for organisations that trade, analyse, or manage risk across physical and paper energy markets, including:
- Trading houses
- Oil & gas majors
- National oil companies (NOCs)
- Financial institutions
- Shipping and logistics firms
It supports traders, risk managers, analysts, and commercial teams who need visibility across the full supply chain.
