A case for fob ARA diesel benchmarks
European diesel trade has undergone a fundamental transformation. As Russian supply has been replaced by long-haul imports from the Middle East and India, the volume of diesel loaded on a fob ARA basis has surged — eclipsing traditional cif deliveries and reshaping pricing dynamics.
This paper explains why our 30,000t fob ARA diesel cargo assessment — the only benchmark of its kind — is now essential for market participants. Backed by live trades on the Argus Open Markets® platform and developed in close consultation with industry leaders, this assessment offers unmatched transparency, accessibility, and relevance.
