"Natural gas, for example, starkly reflects the European energy crisis triggered by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting geopolitical uncertainty," said Bernardo Dore, Chief Data Scientist. "This volatility is even more pronounced in the Power index, with both subsiding toward December 2022. The OptiMargin Natural Gas index includes Henry Hub (U.S.), TTF (Dutch), PEG (French), PVB (Italian), UK NBP (British), JKM LNG (Japan-Korea), and Alberta NIT (Canadian) contracts. All are weighted, ranked, and standardized across varying contract units, sizes, currencies, and exchanges to provide the most accurate, near real-time sector assessment of risk and margin."
"Margin data is complex, unpredictable, and non-linear; traders struggle to get a 'feel' for such opaque information, often leading to negative convexity,"said Phil Motuzko, CTO."OptiMargin's methodology enhances transparency and sector-level context through standardized, fungible data-translating margin prediction and risk management into tangible bottom-line results."
