Frustrated by market volatility?

OPIS Spot Ticker
is just a tick away.

All Refined Product Prices,
All Major U.S. Spot Markets, All Day Long


The OPIS Spot Ticker allows you to assess the value of all grades of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel in real time as they trade, from your desk or on the road -- and now includes daily closing ethanol spot prices in 8 key markets with twice a day prices (mid-day and closing)
in Chicago!

It's a must-have tool for marketers, traders, brokers and large bulk buyers in today's volatile U.S. spot markets, including the West Coast.

Marketers use it to predict where rack prices are headed, so they can stock up in advance of supplier moves, or wait until price changes take effect to pull product.

Traders and brokers use it to spot arbitrage opportunities, check their view of the market against an independent third party and view NYMEX differentials and calculated spot prices.
Supply executives in oil companies use it to set the prices of their rack barrels and monitor rack netbacks.

Mid-Day Ethanol Spot Assessment - Get an intraday
update of ethanol spot price values in the critical Chicago market.

Real-Time Updates - Get pricing updates as they happen - no more delayed prices.

Live NYMEX Feed - Gain access to NYMEX prices in one convenient location throughout the trading day.

Globex - See market moves after the traditional trading day has closed.

West Coast Basis - Track West Coast markets as a basis differential to the NYMEX in real time.

Deal Log -
Follow the many spot deals OPIS confirms throughout the day in real time to give you an indication of where our editors are tracking the full-day range (unlike other services that only show deals that are done in a 30-minute window from 2:45 p.m. - 3:15 p.m. EST daily).

Pipeline Scheduling
- Get key pipeline scheduling times for even greater trading detail.

"As someone who buys about 35 million gallons of fuel per year, I couldn’t live without the OPIS Spot Ticker. By following the bulk cash markets and timing my daily purchases, I have improved my margins tremendously over the past two years. Saving just 2.5cts/gal on one load pays for an entire month of the OPIS Spot Ticker! I highly recommend this product to anyone who buys fuel."
              - Alan Meyer, Fuel Manager, Meyer Oil

"I was searching for a service that would assist me in my fuel buying decision making. One
of the available products advised me when to buy based on the futures market, the other, the OPIS Spot Ticker, used the cash market. I quickly discovered that the futures market provides an incomplete view of where the market is headed. Only the OPIS Spot Ticker gives me the complete picture — so I can make an informed decision. It has paid for itself many times over."

              - Barry Powell, Vice President, Wenger Oil, Inc.

“The OPIS Spot Ticker and alerts gives us a continuous flow of market knowledge allowing anticipation rather than reaction to price movements. Delineating financial speculation from
physical markets improves our buying decisions, lowers costs and improves customer service.”
              - Jon Krum, COO, Keystone Fuels


“I want to thank OPIS for introducing me to the OPIS Spot Ticker. I’m one of the little guys
trying to survive in this competitive market. I consider the OPIS Spot Ticker to be one of the
most useful price discovery tools I have and it has totally changed the way I purchase fuel.
Knowing the spot price allows me to forecast the ups and downs at the rack and decide the
best time to buy. This tool has been worth its weight in gold. I have referred the OPIS Spot
Ticker to all of my friends (just hope my competition doesn’t find out about it).”
              - Jody Crotts, General Partner, Funny’s C-Store
