Zema Global has partnered with London-based energy brokerage and market data provider Arrow Energy Markets (AEM) to expand access to over-the-counter (OTC) energy and freight market data through its Decisioning Infrastructure platform. The agreement adds broker-sourced market intelligence covering major global trading centres, extending Zema’s offering for commodity traders, risk managers and financial institutions.
Under the partnership, Zema customers will gain access to AEM data covering crude oil, fuel oil, middle distillates, light ends, biofuels and forward freight agreements (FFAs). The datasets are available at end-of-day for Singapore, London and US market closes, enabling firms to incorporate pricing information from different trading sessions into valuation, exposure management, hedging and analytical processes.The integration is designed to reduce the need for separate data acquisition and processing arrangements, allowing AEM’s market intelligence to be combined with existing market, fundamental and proprietary datasets. Applications include forward curve construction, portfolio valuation, procurement analysis and independent pricing checks.
“Access to timely and reliable market intelligence is critical in today’s energy markets,” says James Snow, CEO and Founder of Arrow Energy Markets. “Our data is informed by the experience and insight developed across our brokerage business and reflects activity across some of the world’s most important OTC energy markets.”
The agreement forms part of Zema’s broader strategy to consolidate diverse commodity datasets within a common enterprise infrastructure, combining automated data ingestion, validation and normalisation with analytics and downstream distribution capabilities. Its platform currently aggregates information from more than 1,400 sources and 14,000 data reports, serving energy companies, commodity traders, utilities and financial institutions.
Zema has announced several other data partnerships during 2026. In September, it expanded its relationship with Parameta Solutions, TP ICAP Group’s data and analytics division, adding end-of-day indicative pricing across oil, natural gas, LNG, power, coal, environmental markets and metals.
An expanded agreement with Marex in October added further pricing, forward curve, index and historical datasets across energy and environmental markets. More recently, Zema integrated SatYield’s satellite-derived agricultural forecasts into its Decisioning Infrastructure, providing commodity market participants with forward-looking crop intelligence alongside conventional market and fundamental data.Zema’s infrastructure supports the delivery of normalised datasets into energy and commodity trading and risk management systems (ETRM/CTRM), as well as analytical environments including Databricks and Snowflake.
The AEM partnership further broadens this data ecosystem, particularly in refined petroleum products and freight markets, where broker-generated information provides an additional source for pricing and valuation. The companies have also established a framework for extending their collaboration into additional commodity classes and datasets as customer requirements evolve.
