“Argus launched a composite Argus Crude Tanker Index (ACTI) that distils the cost of shipping crude oil into a single daily benchmark, bringing greater transparency for shipping markets as rates soar on the Iran crisis. The continuous innovation in pricing methodology keeps Argus competitive with Platts.”

“Argus identified 10 key commodity and energy market themes for 2026, including sulphur shortages, oil surpluses, carbon costs, and geopolitics of critical minerals and trade tariffs. Their analysis points to a crude oil surplus of 1.5 million barrels per day and warns of European gas storage closures.”

“Argus Media is an independent media organization providing price assessments, business intelligence, and market data for the global energy and commodity markets. Their reputation for transparent, auditable methodologies makes them a trusted alternative to S&P Global Platts for price reporting.”
