Expanded Energy Data Coverage Brings More Depth
CHICAGO, IL (July 18, 2006) – GlobalView Software Inc., the energy industry’s leading provider of real-time, historical and proprietary data management solutions, announced it has added more real-time and historical data for oil, gas, power, emissions, coal and metals to its GlobalData service, which is available through MarketView. The announcement comes right on the heels of a previous announcement regarding new data additions from Point Carbon, The Baltic Exchange, ICAP and TOCOM.
The ability to quickly add new data is one of GlobalView’s strengths compared to other data management providers. Its ability to handle emerging market and specialty data makes it especially valuable to customers.
Included in the latest data additions are gas, power, coal and metals closing prices and traded data from ICAP ENERGY, which is the only broker to hold number one or two positions within oil, electricity, gas, coal, emissions and freight. The data includes the following:
• Gas – NBP, BEB/VEP, TTF and Zeebrugge
• Power – Austrian, Belgian, Dutch, French, German and UK peak and base
• Coal – API #2 and API#4
• Metals – gold, palladium, platinum and silver
ICAP oil data was already available in MarketView and other GlobalView solutions through GlobalData.
“ICAP is proud to be the world’s largest interdealer broker. Not only is the breadth of our coverage unrivalled, but the depth of experience we have sitting at each of our desks is very strong for the industry. Our oil desk is an excellent example. Several of the people on that desk have been with us for over a decade. We are pleased to have our data offered through GlobalView,” said Paul Newman, Managing Director.
Coal, oil and emissions data is also now available from Tradition Financial Services (TFS), another leading energy broker. Coal data is available by month, quarter and year, and emissions data covers EU carbon allowances, LEBA, NOX and SO2. TFS is the only global brokerage company offering both OTC and exchange-traded execution and clearing services across the full array of energy products.
In addition, due to new relevance to the energy markets, Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) futures data is available as part of the GlobalData offering. The data is immediately available and can be activated in a customer’s MarketView account in a matter of minutes. Customers interested in receiving any of the new data or additional data should contact their account team.
“GlobalView is proud of its ability to quickly and efficiently introduce new data offerings as we constantly evaluate our customers’ data needs and provide solutions to those needs. Our experience and depth in data services allows us to perform this service at a level unmatched in the industry,” said Eric Fishhaut, Senior VP Technology Strategy.
