NYMEX, OilAnalytics to Provide Market Data and Analysis for Energy Markets

The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. and energy consultancy OilAnalytics today announced the launch of NYMEX Direct Analytics, a service that will enable energy professionals to access key supply and demand data that drives global energy pricing through the NYMEX website, www.nymex.com.

NYMEX Direct Analytics provides traders and analysts with comprehensive analysis of supply, demand, and pricing data for the energy industry. Using tools that have been developed over the last 20 years, energy professionals can use the service to understand energy price direction and volatility as a function of fundamental supply and demand information.

Available as separate packages, OilAnalytics and Natural Gas Analytics include more than 500 separate tables and charts covering supply, demand, and futures prices. In addition to the data, the service offers unique comparative analysis on stocks versus prices, inventory forecasts, and spread prices.

NYMEX President and Chief Executive Officer James E. Newsome said, "OilAnalytics is a natural partner for NYMEX. The services they provide give energy traders quick and easy access to the fundamental data that impacts energy market prices. They can add great value for any analyst or trader who follows the energy markets."

Joel Fingerman, CEO of OilAnalytics commented: "OilAnalytics contains a large amount of data on supply and demand history, NYMEX price history, and relationships between supply and demand variables and price. Quite simply, this vast data source of frequently updated information is a "one-stop shop" for analysts and traders looking for fundamental supply and demand information and its impact on prices. For instance, when the weekly DOE data of oil industry supply and demand are released at 10:30 am EST on Wednesday mornings, within minutes every chart and table is fully updated and available on the site."
