SUMMARY Commodities trading businesses are extremely complex and are increasingly subject to regulation, transparency and reporting. Funding banks and outside investors are increasingly aware of both the compliance issues and of the risk posed by trading, buying or selling physical commodities and commodities futures. Increasingly, they demand and expect that risk is well managed and that the data utilized by the risk systems is verifiable, defendable and trustworthy. Price data and forward curves are a key and central component in this new era of compliance and transparency and all trading firms now need to ensure that they have a comprehensive, explainable and defendable approach to gathering, calculating and maintaining this critical information, underpinning their transactions and valuations. Under such circumstances, a robust and fully transparent data and curve management application architecture is no longer a luxury option, but rather a base requirement. Under such circumstances, a robust and fully transparent data and curve management capability, such as that provided by DataGenic’s CurveBuilder product, has become a necessity for those trading organizations that find themselves increasingly under the microscopes of regulators, stakeholders and financiers. © Commodity Technology Advisory LLC, 2015, All Rights Reserved.
