US Crude

General Index's US crude assessments provide price transparency for key North American markets.

Prices are based on an all-day volume-weighted average spanning key grades and locations across the Gulf Coast, Texas, and the midcontinent.

New physical crude spot price assessments as a differential to the ICE Midland WTI (HOU) futures contract

GX has launched more than 20 new relevant spot price indices, reflective of different locations and grades, providing the perfect vehicle to transition from landlocked DSW to international Midland WTI (at Houston).

These new prices provide the opportunity to carry out a direct trade with more liquidity, represent and accurate value, and offer better hedging.

The need for carrying out multiple-legged trades is also eliminated, along with the mitigation of multiple fundamental exposures.

GENERAL INDEX EXPERTISE

US crude markets are becoming increasingly influential around the world and require more targeted and consistent methodologies in order to bring transparency and choice to benchmarks that for many years have only been available through bundles and cost-prohibitive subscriptions.

General Index brings the world's first technology-driven US crude assessments, backed by industry expertise and market-accepted methodologies, to allow market participants in the US and globally to trade the way they want, while only paying for the data they need.
