What This Indicator Measures
Daily FOB Mediterranean 1.0% fuel oil swap values by contract month in USD/mt; the page history follows the M1 tenor.
Refined Product Forward Curves (Swaps): Financially settled forward (swap) values for a refined product by contract month: balance-of-month (BalMo), first month (M1), second month (M2) and where available M3. The page history uses one tenor (M1 where available) so that the chart is one continuous series.
Specification · stated by the source for this series
- 1.0% sulphur; tenors as loaded.
- FOB Mediterranean · · M1 history
- Tenors roll: “M1” refers to a different calendar month after each expiry; the contract month is shown in the tenor table.
Basis: FOB Mediterranean
- FOB (free on board): the price covers the product loaded on the vessel at the named origin; sea freight and insurance to the destination are excluded, so FOB values from different loading areas are not delivered-cost equivalents.
- The Mediterranean basis covers cargo loadings (FOB Med, typically Italian ports) or deliveries (CIF Med) within the Mediterranean basin.
Unit: USD/mt
- Same unit as the underlying physical product (USD/bbl or USD/mt).
