IE week is starting here in London but over the weekend things were busy in politics!

The annual gathering in London for International Energy (or Petroleum if you’re a traditionalist 😊) Week is kicking off. Traders, brokers and consultants are converging to make their opinions known, drink and eat canapés. We hope to see some of you there! The market softened slightly this morning, with Brent trading down through the Asian session towards the low-$67 range but bounced to $67.49/bbl by the close.

The Officials publish outright values, spreads, cracks and boxes for the main energy commodities traded in the marketplace. The published values are determined independently and on a fair market basis by our team of dedicated professionals.

We invite you to read our reports, which are published twice a day, reflecting closing values at 16:30 Singapore time (SGT) and at 16:30 London time (GMT/BST). For any comments, please reach out to us through the emails provided in the signed documents.
