Experience even greater purchasing flexibility with the OPIS Fixed Forward Rack Price Report. This brand new pricing tool allows you to effectively assess forward rack pricing trends in 80 key markets across the United States.

Visibility for fixed forward rack prices, based off a differential to the NYMEX, is critical as more suppliers offer this purchasing option. The OPIS Fixed Forward Rack Price Report addresses this market need by showing the low, high and average basis “diffs” along with the future NYMEX settle to arrive at an implied forward cash low, high and average price for gasoline, low- and high-sulfur diesel.

OPIS data includes an average price for the 6-month strip -- a number that provides a valuable benchmark for buying and selling fuel over an extended time.

Delivered electronically twice daily (mid-day and closing), this user-friendly report also shows a 6-month forward curve for each rack market that can be used as a key data point for evaluating swaps.

Marketers and large end users are taking advantage of fixed forward pricing to “lock in” a portion of their fuel purchases for up to six months in advance to help negate some of the risk in today’s volatile market.
