Parameta Solutions & General Index to launch global LNG pricing service

Parameta Solutions, a world’s leading provider of Over the Counter (OTC) market and transactional data, and General Index (GX), the world’s first technology-driven benchmark provider, are pleased to announce the launch of a new Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) pricing service that will offer robust and transparent daily benchmarks to better enable trading between major LNG hubs.  

Powered by trades executed in TP ICAP’s leading Energy & Commodities venues, Parameta Solutions’ waterfall methodology is implemented using GX’s leading benchmark technology. The Parameta Solutions Global LNG Basis Indices will offer an alternative tech-led approach to traditional journalistic price assessments. With GX acting as the independent regulated benchmark administrator, the indices will be available for use for price discovery purposes, as the underlying reference rate in financial contracts and in the clearing and settlement process.

‍"As the world continues along the path to net-zero, LNG has emerged as the key balancing fuel that market participants are using to accelerate their progression. The market for this product has expanded, with volumes increasing as a result of geopolitical pressures on supply chains. As a result, what was once a niche, localised market is now a truly global one. Therefore, this collaboration to create a suite of benchmarking tools is necessary to help participants to manage their risk more effectively.”

Ovie Koloko, Chief Product Officer, Parameta Solutions

"There is a natural fit between an OTC trade data provider and independent benchmark provider. This innovative partnership brings new transparency and choice to the LNG market, and we believe will be the first of many collaborations between our firms.”

Neil Bradford, Founder and CEO, General Index
