What can Global Indicators and Differentials tell me?

Global Indicators offer a neutral reference for overall market conditions across materials, allowing sellers to understand whether pricing pressure is driven by global fundamentals or by localised dynamics.

Regional Differentials then show how competing products are priced in specific customer geographies, highlighting where premiums, discounts, or substitution risks are emerging.

Together with BMI prices, our complete Prices Service offers an all-encompassing database covering the entirety of energy transition supply chains.
