Purpose-built for the unique needs of naphtha traders

Trade the naphtha market with clarity and conviction

Seizing time-sensitive opportunities is crucial for success. Naphtha traders must quickly capitalise on fluctuations caused by geopolitical events, seasonal demand changes, and market regulatory shifts. However, traders face challenges such as sifting through irrelevant data, the need for tools tailored to the specific products they trade, and a trend to be over-dependent on historical data. These issues result in slow-to-market response times and missed opportunities.

Sparta’s physical naphtha market information and industry-leading forward-looking arbitrage and clean freight models deliver traders insights into global market impacts and trends. Spanning from petrochemical to blending, across various grades from light to heavy, Sparta enables you to place or source barrels and trade paper spreads with greater accuracy and conviction.
