CRU Group expands access to its commodity prices

The company has partnered with financial data firm Refinitiv to license CRU commodity prices through the Eikon platform.

London-based CRU Group, a global mining, metals and fertilizer business intelligence company, has formed a partnership with financial data firm Refinitiv, a London Stock Exchange Group company. 

CRU says it will offer more than 750 commodity price benchmarks from 21 price services covering metals, fertilizers and their raw materials through Refinitiv Eikon, a specialist data provider to more than 40,000 end users across 190 countries.

Aaron Gill, global head of sales & marketing at CRU Group, says, “CRU is trusted by companies around the globe, and our vision is to create more choices on how our data is accessed [and] working with Refinitiv is part of that vision. Many of our customers are familiar with the Eikon platform and will welcome an opportunity to streamline prices through one data source with add-on tools. Existing CRU clients will get complimentary access to the relevant services, whilst new clients will be able to license CRU data via Eikon. We are excited at the prospect of building a long and fruitful partnership with Refinitiv.” 

Chris Evans, director of metals at Refinitiv, says, “Through this valued partnership, we are very pleased to offer CRU metal prices as an add-on service through our Eikon terminals. Customers will now be able to access CRU prices via a single platform—streamlining their workflow.” 

Refinitiv, which has $6.25 billion in revenue, more than 40,000 customers and 400,000 end-users across 190 countries, says it provides information, insights and technology that enable customers to execute critical investing, trading and risk decisions with confidence.
