Digest Dashboard launches – “news you can use” summary of key bioeconomy prices, data
In Florida, Biofuels Digest launched today its weekly Digest Dashboard, a convenient “news you can use” 5-Minute summary of current markets including key commodity prices, relevant futures, bioenergy-related stocks, and historical equities data.
In the initial release, the Dashboard will summarize:
Sector Equities. Friday closing prices, weekly moves, outstanding shares, market caps, most recent earnings per share, p/e ratio, book value, EBITDA and 50- and 200-day moving averages for 35 key sector equities — a weekly summary of the Biofuels Digest Index. Includes both tabular data, and charts.
Historical Index data. Historical 5-year and all-time Biofuels Digest Index closing prices, the previous week’s daily BDI closes, and movement by sectors such as large caps, ethanol, advanced biofuels, enzymes and chemicals.
Latest prices – fossil commodities. Most recent commodity closing prices, and price changes, for NYMEX’s crude oil, Brent Crude, Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel, Natural Gas, RBOB gasoline, and Ethylene.
Latest prices – renewable commodities. Most recent commodity closing prices for ethanol futures and D6 RIN futures.
Latest prices – renewable feedstocks, first-gen. Most recent commodity futures closing prices for first generation feedstocks including field corn, soybean oil, and sugar. Most recent commodity closing prices for dried distillers grains, modified wet distillers grains, and distillers corn oil.
Latest prices – renewable feedstocks, next-gen. Most recent averaged prices for second generation bioenergy feedstocks including sorghum, cornstalks, grass and brome, by state.
“There is a tremendous amount of price data available from a wide array of sources,” said Digest editor Jim Lane. “Some is more important to the biofuels reader than others. With this weekly dashboard, we aim to provide the most essential data, in one convenient 5-minute summary. As the sector grows and changes — we’ll track and report on new prices as they become essentials.”
