Neil Bradford, Founder & CEO, General Index with Rich Winter, Global Head of Fenics Market Data

General Index (GX), a leading provider of energy market benchmarks, today announced a groundbreaking deal with Fenics Market Data, a leading provider and generator of global financial and commodities market data and the exclusive distributor of data for the BGC Group (“BGC”), to support critical oil price assessments, focusing on physical commodity benchmarks.

This multi-year deal connects Fenics Market Data’s physical and forward commodity trading data directly to GX’s price calculation technology, significantly expanding the amount of trade data used in the GX algorithms. This further enhances the quality and robustness of GX’s global suite of crude and refined products and LPG benchmarks and represents a significant leap in its offering.

This deal is uniquely valuable due to BGC's strong position in energy and commodities in a high number of key AsiaMarkets. The benefit to users is further enhanced given Fenics is the exclusive distributor of all global data for the BGC Group. The initiative cements a strategic relationship between GX and Fenics Market Data, that will bring even more value to GX’s global customer set. GX and Fenics Market Data fully anticipate this deal to be the first of several as the two companies build on their collaboration globally.

"We’re very excited about the collaboration with Fenics Market Data. This technology partnership ensures that General Index benchmarks are based on the broadest available set of data, which is received in a timely and complete fashion into our data lake. We look forward to expanding the partnership as we grow globally.”
