Marketers use it to predict where rack prices are headed to 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.

Our customers buy and sell with confidence. See what they have to say...

“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
