Apple® iPhone users can now tap into real time global market data and prices for oil, gas, metals, agriculture and other commodities with the launch today of an iPhone compatible version of AspectDSC - the Web-based information and decision support system for traders from Aspect Enterprise Solutions.

AspectDSC (Decision Support Center) is the world’s first wholly Web-based markets information resource and gives commodity traders, buyers, sellers, analysts and end users a trusted single source for news and prices - together with advanced analytics - to support minute-by-minute financial decisions.

The iPhone move marks a significant expansion for the Aspect solution according to the company’s CEO Steve Hughes. “AspectDSC has consistently remained a first choice for energy and commodity professionals wanting to do business on the move through their PDAs and smartphones.

iPhone compatibility takes us into a new and fast-growing sector of the market where mobility, speed of access and accuracy of information are key.”

As well as iPhone, AspectDSC is also available on desktop, Blackberry® and a wide range of other mobile devices. It provides both real-time and historical spot and futures prices and news for energy, metals, agricultural and other commodities. Built-in decision support tools are included alongside advanced charting to more quickly uncover revenue opportunities, and enhance profitability in buy/sell decisions.

Delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application, AspectDSC requires no software to be installed, is easy to support and simple to learn and use. Users can customize the solution to their own specific needs, displaying as little or as much information as they require.

Already widely deployed with global traders, brokerage companies and financial institutions as well as commodity producers, processors and dealers, AspectDSC combines some of the world’s most respected sources of market information including NYMEX, ICE, Forex, LME, COMEX and CBOT together with publishers like Platts, Dow Jones and the BBC.
