Real-time trade flow and inventory data enhances price discovery by tracking global commodity supply, demand shifts, and cargo movements. By analyzing live LNG, coal, crude oil, and refined product exports, traders can identify regional price discrepancies, anticipate market tightness, and optimize trading strategies. Real-time insights into port congestion, floating storage levels, and vessel tracking provide a competitive edge in assessing price formation and reacting swiftly to arbitrage opportunities.
Gain 18 month price & balance forecasts, along with short term market calls, from an expert, unbiased research team. Receive guidance in the form of daily, weekly, and monthly reports along with customized meetings to help answer your specific market needs and help you determine where relevant prices are heading next.
Anticipate movements in crack margins with real-time visibility into crude oil supply, refinery activity, and refined product flows. By tracking crude imports and stock levels at key refining hubs, energy traders can assess potential shifts in feedstock availability that directly impact refining costs and margins.
Refined product export data allows traders to monitor gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel shipments, and enables traders to gauge supply tightness or oversupply in key markets. Real-time insights into refinery outages, maintenance schedules, and operational capacity provide early indicators of refining constraints that could squeeze or expand crack spreads. By integrating these data points, traders can anticipate crude-product imbalances and adjust their positions to capture profitable refining margins before the broader market reacts.
Track competitor behavior across global energy markets by analyzing cargo movements, trading patterns, and supply chain decisions in near real time. Understand who is buying, selling, storing, or diverting cargoes to anticipate shifts in supply-demand dynamics.
Kpler’s trade flow and inventory intelligence helps traders spot early signals—such as rivals increasing exports to specific regions or building stocks ahead of price moves—allowing teams to benchmark performance, optimize trade timing, and uncover arbitrage opportunities faster than the market.
Crude oil & refined product market analysts can track real-time crude oil export flows by grade, storage levels, and refinery activity to gain a clear picture of market dynamics in order to accurately capture shifts in demand. By monitoring crude oil inventory movements, distinguishing between crude going into refineries, storage hubs, or strategic reserves analysts can gain deeper insight into regional consumption patterns. With access to supply & demand models, analysts can calibrate their own outlooks and validate trading strategy based on real-time refinery throughput changes. Armed with Kpler’s intelligence, traders can confidently optimize trade routes, capitalize on price differentials, and maximize net margins in an evolving market landscape.
LNG market analysts can track global LNG exports, import terminal activity, and floating storage levels in order to assess regional supply tightness and anticipate demand fluctuation.Real-time insights into LNG vessel movements, diversions, contracts, and regasification capacity utilization provide a deeper understanding of infrastructure constraints and shifting trade patterns. Additionally, historical trade flow data and seasonal demand trends allow analysts to refine their long-term forecasts and predict price movements. Coal market analysts can track coal exports from key suppliers like Indonesia, Australia, and South Africa and monitor import trends in major consumer markets such as China, India, and Europe, in order to assess supply availability and demand shifts. Monitor vessel movements along key trade routes, including the Richards Bay to India corridor and Newcastle to North Asia routes, to gauge market imbalances and forecast price trends.
Monitor critical freight & flow data in combination in order to comprehend pivotal interconnected pricing factors. Observe canal congestion and gain data on waiting times and vessel counts for cargo at ports and installations. Identify freight market indicators using freight utilisation data to identify supply & demand within vessel classes and understand regionally where demand is pulling ballast vessels in order to stay ahead of freight rate impacts.
Freight utilization and ballast data reveal where demand is pulling vessels regionally, helping analysts anticipate freight rate volatility and its downstream impact on delivered energy prices. This integrated view enables more accurate forecasting of logistics-driven price movements across global energy markets.

FAQ
Kpler's real-time visibility into LNG, coal, crude oil, and refined product flows—combined with inventory levels, port congestion, and vessel tracking—reveals actual supply-demand dynamics as they develop. Rather than reacting to published prices or delayed reports, you see regional price discrepancies, market tightness signals, and arbitrage opportunities as they emerge. Floating storage levels, cargo diversions, and export patterns provide early signals of supply shifts before they're reflected in financial markets. Combined with 18-month forecasts and expert market calls from Kpler's research team, you gain the intelligence to optimize trading strategies, time entries and exits with precision, and capture profitable opportunities before broader market awareness catches up.
Kpler provides real-time visibility into crude oil supplies, refinery activity, refined product flows, and refinery outages—enabling you to anticipate shifts in crack margins before they materialize. By tracking crude imports by grade and stock levels at key refining hubs, you can assess feedstock availability and cost pressures. Monitoring refined product exports (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) reveals supply tightness or oversupply in specific markets. Real-time data on refinery maintenance schedules and operational capacity provides early warning of constraints that will squeeze or expand spreads. This integrated view allows you to position ahead of crude-product imbalances and capture profitable refining margins before the market reprices.
Kpler's trade flow and cargo movement intelligence reveals competitor buying, selling, storing, and diversion patterns across global energy markets. You can observe who is increasing exports to specific regions, building strategic stocks ahead of price moves, or shifting trade routes—signals that precede broader supply-demand shifts. Rather than relying on anecdotal competitor intelligence or delayed market commentary, you see actual competitor behavior in real time. This enables you to benchmark performance, understand where rivals are positioning, and spot emerging market opportunities faster than competitors relying on delayed information. The speed and accuracy of this intelligence often translates directly to better trading decisions and superior returns.
Kpler provides detailed supply-demand models calibrated across crude oil, refined products, LNG, and coal markets—combined with real-time trade flows, inventory movements, and refinery throughput data. Analysts can track crude going into refineries versus storage versus strategic reserves to understand regional consumption patterns. For LNG, you monitor global exports, terminal activity, and floating storage to assess infrastructure constraints and demand shifts. For coal, you track exports from major suppliers and imports in consuming regions to gauge supply-demand balances. Armed with this granular intelligence plus 10+ years of historical data and seasonal trends, you can refine long-term forecasts, validate trading strategies with confidence, and position ahead of price movements with higher conviction.
Kpler's integrated freight and flow data reveals the interconnected relationship between vessel availability, canal congestion, port delays, and energy prices. Freight utilization and ballast data show where regional demand is pulling vessels, helping you anticipate freight rate volatility and its downstream impact on delivered energy prices. Understanding port congestion, waiting times, and vessel scarcity in key corridors (Richards Bay to India, Newcastle to North Asia) enables you to forecast logistics-driven price movements. By treating logistics as an integral component of energy price formation rather than an afterthought, you gain deeper market insights and more accurate forecasts—essential for trading and hedging decisions in global energy markets where transportation costs significantly impact margins.
