An overview of General Index

General Index provides robust, reliable price transparency for the world’s commodity markets.

Energy markets covered include crude oil, refined products and LPG across Asia, EU and US.

Our benchmarks can replace the entrenched journalistic ones of today, and also reflect the evolving markets and tr­­ading patterns of tomorrow.
