Commodity assumptions

Ranges for the prices you don't control.

Your team can range price, volume and hiring. Nobody in your building should be guessing Brent. We maintain the ranges for the drivers markets set — reviewed monthly, delivered as a Drivers sheet that drops straight into your model.

The maintained set

This month's ranges.

P10–P90 windows around a base, with the shape your model should sample from. Illustrative values shown — subscribers receive the maintained sheet on the first business day of each month.

// P10–P90 means: 8 months in 10 should land inside the window. When one breaks out, the note explains why — and the next sheet moves.

Method

Where the ranges come from.

01

Forward curves first

The base is anchored on the liquid forward curve, not on anyone's opinion. Where curves are thin, we say so.

02

Width from options and history

The P10–P90 window blends options-implied volatility with realised moves over comparable regimes. Wide when the market is wide — never comfortingly narrow.

03

A note you can read aloud

Every range ships with one sentence on what would break it. If you can't explain an assumption to the board, it shouldn't be in the model.
