CRB Division of Barchart Launches Ethanol Outlook Report for CME Group.

CHICAGO -- Commodity Research Bureau (CRB), a division of Barchart.com, Inc. and a leading provider of financial and commodity market research, publications and data, today announced the launch of a new research report focused on the ethanol market on behalf of CME Group, the world's largest and most diverse derivatives exchange. The weekly report, named CME Group Ethanol Outlook Report, is published by CRB each Monday and branded and distributed by the CME Group. The report provides comprehensive global ethanol market information and data to the ethanol, energy and agricultural industries, as well as ethanol market participants.

"The CME Group Ethanol Outlook Report provides a wealth of information on the global ethanol market available no where else," said Eero Pikat, President of Barchart and CRB. "Together with CME Group, we have assembled a weekly research report which will help educate and attract additional market participants to the CME Group's growing ethanol complex," said Pikat.

Each week the report includes ethanol market overviews, related news and headlines, in addition to ethanol data, charts and related events. By consolidating this wide array of ethanol market information, market participants have a comprehensive resource for the latest information on the ethanol market. The report features information related to the price activity of CME Group's ethanol futures and over-the-counter products and related markets, as well as regulatory and fundamental developments in the ethanol market.

"The ethanol market is destined to grow steadily in coming years due to the need for a gasoline-alternative such as ethanol, which reduces America's dependence on foreign oil and is also cleaner than gasoline," said Richard Asplund, CRB Research Director. Asplund adds, "The CME Group Ethanol Outlook Report provides market participants with the information they need to stay abreast of fast-moving events and trading opportunities in the ethanol industry."
