Platts Market Data - Refined

**Overview**

Platts refined products price assessments have provided a basis for trade across commodities, and the world, for decades. But in this increasingly integrated and globalized trading environment, understanding the correlation between regions and sectors in order to compete effectively has never been more important.

This is why we have developed the new Platts Market Data – Refined package which provides access to the full breadth and depth of our refined market data, including benchmarks and contract price assessments, plus:

– A more connected view of the influences on the price of refined products through access to the industry’s only integrated data sets across commodities, regions and verticals

– Access to spot to rack PADDs prices.

– Diverse new data sets to stimulate fresh thinking and inform new strategies

– Historical data to enable you to look at past market trends to inform your future plans and back testing needs.

– Enterprise-wide access to our refined products market data, making it available to both those who find it essential and those who find it useful. Combining this with the power of Platts standardized benchmark data will drive consistency and reduce basis risk throughout your organization — from strategy, trading and planning, to treasury and asset optimization.

– A robust and transparent methodology that brings consistency to our refined products price assessments through principles and parameters that guide our market specialists at every stage of the process.
