ICIS launches China Crude Report

ICIS has launched its new China Crude Report (CCR), which will be produced in English and Chinese by the ICIS China team in Guangzhou.  Data will also be available on the C1 terminal.  Sold through ICIS China, the daily report will enable Chinese buyers of imported crude oil and other market participants to measure the relative delivered cost of international crude grades to the Chinese market.

The CCR uses FOB/CIF price assessments from the ICIS World Crude Report and freight rates from Simpson Spence and Young (a leading ship broker) to create forward CIF China assessments.  This is done by pricing each crude grade at a differential to the forward curve for the nearest main marker grade (BFOE, Dubai or WTI), at 30, 60 and 90 days, with freight rates then added for the relevant route into China.
