Alkagesta Approved for EMEA Naphtha Physical MOC Assessment Window

Alkagesta Ltd has officially joined the S&P Global Commodity Insights physical naphtha Market on Close (MOC) price assessment process for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.

The inclusion of the trading firm into the daily pricing window brings additional counterparty diversity to the regional benchmark formation, supporting transparent price discovery across European and Mediterranean light distillates markets.

## Expanding Trading Footprint in EMEA Naphtha

The physical naphtha MOC assessment window operates as a primary mechanism for establishing transparent pricing for regional cargoes, providing market participants with real-time valuation markers across key trading hubs.

Participation in the assessment process enables accredited entities to submit firm bids, offers, and intent to trade directly within the structured end-of-day pricing framework.

Adherence to the standards defined by S&P Global Commodity Insights ensures that all published bids and offers reflect verifiable physical liquidity, reinforcing market integrity across the light ends complex.

## Strengthening Physical Price Discovery

The integration of active market participants into the MOC framework enhances depth during the assessment period, benefiting downstream petrochemical buyers and refined product blenders relying on representative benchmark pricing.

As physical trade flows across EMEA evolve, expanded participation in standard assessment processes maintains robust operational access and transparent valuation mechanisms for international commodity market participants.
