CommodityScope Assessment Basis
This is the CommodityScope series definition for the published midpoint and assessment range. Characteristics that are not part of this basis are not inferred.
- Product
- Eurobob E10 Forward
- Product quality
- FOB ARA · · M1 history
- Location basis
- FOB ARA
- Parcel basis
- Typical ARA barge parcel as transacted in the inland-waterway market. CommodityScope does not fix a standard barge tonnage.
- Delivery / loading period
- Not fixed in the published series basis.
- Assessment window
- CommodityScope daily assessment dated as of the published assessment date.
- Currency / unit
- USD/mt
- Normalization
- Inputs used for the midpoint and the assessment range are considered only after they can be expressed on this series basis and unit. Cross-unit values are not converted on the public site and are not mixed into this series.
Specification · stated in the assessment basis
- E10 grade; tenors as defined for this series.
- FOB ARA · · M1 history
Basis: FOB ARA
- FOB (free on board): the price covers the product loaded on the vessel at the named origin; sea freight and insurance to the destination are excluded, so FOB values from different loading areas are not delivered-cost equivalents.
- Barge-based ARA/AR/FARAG values refer to inland-waterway barge parcels in the Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp area (FARAG adds Flushing and Ghent); they are smaller lots than seagoing cargoes and are not the same market as CIF NWE cargoes.
- ARA is the Amsterdam–Rotterdam–Antwerp port and refining complex on the North Sea, linked by the Rhine to inland Europe; barge values here are inland-waterway parcels.
Unit: USD/mt
- Same unit as the underlying physical product (USD/bbl or USD/mt).
How to use this series, and what it is not for
How to use this series

What it is not suitable for

- Comparing swaps of different products or units.
