Two types of historical data are available: closing price data and actual trade data. Closing price data lists end-of-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

Indices

Methodology

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.

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.
