⚠️ Data Accuracy & Methodology

Our commitment to transparency: We believe in honest data representation. Here's exactly what our system provides and its limitations:

✅ What We Provide

• Brent futures reference data, sourced from market reporting
• Daily settlement values, tagged with the settlement date they belong to
• Multiple contract months, from the front month out along the curve
• Curve shape indicators (contango / backwardation and the near-to-far spread)
• API endpoints returning the same values you see on this page

⚠️ Important Limitations

• Not an exchange feed: we are not a party to ICE, and we do not redistribute exchange data
• Not real-time: values reflect a settlement session, not a live tick stream
• Reference data: figures may differ from an exchange's official settlement record
• Coverage varies by contract: open/high/low/close is not available for every month
• Holiday gaps: no new values during market closures

💡 Perfect for: Trend analysis, curve shape monitoring, API development, educational purposes, and applications where daily settlement resolution is sufficient.

Not suitable for: execution-sensitive trading, precise arbitrage calculations, or applications requiring tick-by-tick data accuracy.
