Specification · stated in the assessment basis

  • Tenors as defined for this series.
  • Arab Gulf swaps · · M1 history

Basis: Arab Gulf swaps

  • Paper/swap values are financially settled forward prices for a contract month, not physical cargo transactions.
  • The Arab Gulf basis refers to loadings from refineries and terminals inside the Persian/Arabian Gulf (e.g. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar), west of the Strait of Hormuz.

Unit: USD/bbl

  • 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

  • Read the curve shape (M1 vs M2) as the market’s time structure; compare M1 with the physical price of the same product and basis.

What it is not suitable for

  • Treating a swap value as a physical cargo price.
  • Comparing swaps of different products or units.
