ICIS-LOR provides pricing information on the petrochemical and oil markets with reports published on more than 120 commodities, with a frequency ranging from four times per day to monthly. The pricing information is gathered by a team of specialist editors and reporters based in London, Houston and Singapore.
The more significant market for ICIS-LOR is in petrochemicals. There are no regulated markets for these commodities in which the prices of transactions are reported. Pricing, therefore, needs to be obtained journalistically by (mainly telephone) conversations with deal participants. Such a process requires highly experienced reporters with long term relationships with the market players. Information needs to be assessed and corroborated in order to identify the meaningful from the misleading.
