GENEVA, Switzerland — July 9, 2025 — Sparta, the market-leading analytics platform for physical and OTC energy traders, today announced the release of GX Assessments and integrated news, marking a major milestone: full feature parity with Bloomberg Terminal and LSEG Workspace for oil and refined products desks.

With this launch, Sparta now offers traders and analysts a unified platform that combines:

Forward curves and OTC broker data

Real-time and historical physical price assessments (PRA-style)

Market-moving news and analysis

Deep analytics and proprietary signals

The newly released GX Assessments embed daily spot physical benchmarks from General Index (GX) directly into Sparta’s Live Curves.

“This is a major step toward our mission of replacing legacy terminals with tools built for today’s traders,” said Felipe Elink Schurrman, CEO of Sparta. “With GX data and news now live, Sparta doesn’t just match Bloomberg and LSEG — we exceed them in speed, transparency, and workflow integration.”

Feature Highlights:

  • GX spot assessments are fully integrated in the Live Curves interface
  • Historical GX data is instantly accessible from Sparta’s charting tools
  • Coverage across 80+ high-priority curves, with clear signalling for unsupported products
  • News integration brings context and narrative to price movements, in the same workspace

This upgrade builds on Sparta’s core strength: intuitive, trader-first design. Unlike legacy terminals, Sparta brings structured forward views, broker quotes, and PRA data together in one seamless workflow — no tab switching, no screen fragmentation.

“Sparta now gives desks everything they expect from Bloomberg or LSEG Workspace — and a lot more they don’t,” said Tom Goren-Bar, CPO at Sparta. “We’ve built the modern terminal for commodity traders — fast, flexible, and deeply informed.”

With this release, Sparta cements its position as the next-generation market data and analytics platform for the global energy trading community.
