Pricing

Indexed Pricing

A contract where your rate floats with a wholesale market index.

Definition

Indexed (or variable) pricing ties your commodity rate to a published wholesale market index, so it rises and falls with the market.

Detailed explanation

Indexed contracts can capture savings when prices fall but expose you to volatility when they rise. They suit sophisticated buyers with the appetite and processes to manage risk actively.

Why it matters

Choosing between fixed and indexed structures is one of the most consequential procurement decisions — it defines your risk posture.
