First and foremost, there will be no change in price for current paid subscribers. Thank you to our loyal subscribers for your continued support—this newsletter is for you.
The idea behind Commodity Context was simple: a data-centric and visualization-forward oil market research service that dug into the fundamentals behind the headlines so that you could discern between the signal and the noise. We want to provide sober analysis of the physical and paper market realities that drive the price formation of crude oil and refined petroleum products.
Since launching the paid version of Commodity Context in May 2022, we have published 45 data decks covering Global, North American, and now OPEC+ supply and demand developments; 57 thematic posts on a wide range of topics from data misunderstandings to oil price dynamics; and 81 weekly wrap-ups covering developments in flat crude prices, calendar spreads and the curve, high-frequency inventory data, refined product dynamics, and investor positioning as well as my hot-takes, of course.
Since May 2022, we’ve added much more context—and value—for you:
Oil Context Weekly, launched September 2022
OPEC+ Data Deck, launched January 2024
Global Data Deck, increased in length by nearly 100%
North American Data Deck, increased in length by 50%
As you know, Commodity Context’s research approach is cumulative by design and each thematic post adds to the growing backend that is then regularly tracked and visualized in my monthly Data Decks and, even more frequently, commented on in Oil Context Weekly. We’re constantly improving and growing our data and research products to deliver more context to your inboxes.
Beginning on May 1, the price for new subscriptions will rise to US$75 for monthly subscription and US$750 for annual subscriptions. This will have no impact on existing subscribers as long as you continue to renew your existing subscription. Our new prices will allow us to better serve you and our future subscribers!
We will also be offering discounted group rates as well as a new institutional advisory and data product; please contact subscriptions@commoditycontext.com for more information.
