Argus Crude
An Argus market service - published daily
Argus Crude reports daily on the global crude markets. Analysis and pricing for more than 80 different internationally traded crude streams make this report a must-read for market participants.
The Argus Crude service is the only way to access the exclusive Argus Sour Crude IndexTM (ASCITM) price, which is used by Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait and their US customers. Argus Crude is also the home of the ESPO Blend price assessment for Russian crude from the ESPO (East Siberia – Pacific Ocean) pipeline, which is sold eastwards, in the east Asian and US west coast markets.
Argus’ methodology reflects real trading behaviour and is developed in conjunction with the industry. Argus Crude also includes analytical commentary which explains the reasons behind price movements.
