Live Data
Methodology
Real-time screens and apps have become a must-have for anyone seriously tracking energy, freight and emissions
prices. As live price windows on the markets, they are invaluable in helping to inform a wide range of decision-making.
Marex Spectron has been at the forefront of developing read-only live price services; with a high level of functionality
and user-friendliness they have become the market-monitoring tools of choice for hundreds of commodities
professionals. Access is quick and extremely simple to set up.
The All-day gas indices are calculated from the volume-weighted average of all Day-ahead and
Month-ahead trades done during the course of the day for delivery to the NBP (National Balancing
Point). All times are British Standard Time (BST), as determined by Marex Spectron. These indices
are published at 18:00 hours each day.
Daily Prices
Marex Spectron publishes closing prices for a range of OTC commodity markets which are relied on by thousands of
energy, freight and environmental market professionals. The data is available in PDF or Excel versions of Marex
Spectron’s hugely popular Spectrometer report, or via FTP for those wishing to automate the daily downloading of the
data. An interactive version of the report - Spectrometer Plus - is also available, which allows users to create bespoke
data charts and gives them access to Marex Spectron’s complete historical closing price archive.

Historical Prices
Marex Spectron has a wealth of quality historical energy, freight and emissions market data, going back as far as
2000. Two types of historical data are available: closing price data and actual trade data. Closing price data lists endof-day prices on key markets while actual trade data lists all individual trades concluded - their price, volume and the
time they were executed - invaluable when analysing market development and liquidity.
Market Analytics
Marex Spectron market analytics is a quantitatively-biased global research platform that seeks to isolate and quantify the common forces that influences markets. Those
common forces namely Growth, Psychology and Liquidity, are aggregated to build an overall global, cross-asset class, risk framework. The financial markets for
Commodities, both on-exchange and OTC, sit within this sphere of influence alongside Fixed Income, Equity, FX and Volatility markets. A holistic analytical approach is
therefore required.
At the micro level, the Market Analytics framework seeks to understand the positioning of financial players by analyzing the output of a number of proprietary models.
Our core belief is that publically available information on speculative positioning is of limited value. As liquidity pools have fragmented and electronic trading has become
more prevalent, market behavior evolves. Technology provides bridges for liquidity and markets are becoming increasingly inter-linked.
