Intra-day freight market alert - heads up for brokers

Shipping stocks move with the direction of the physical chartering market.

Typically, tanker shares go up if VLCC rates rise, and drybulk shares rise if dry cargo charter rates go up.

The physical chartering market has no reliable intra-day indicator on where the market is going.

Until recently, the financial community would rely on daily charter rate assessments and fixture reports  to see the direction of the market.

The Freight Futures has changed this.

Freight futures trading on the International Maritime Exchange (IMAREX) are standardised contracts linked to the underlying physical market.

The contracts are traded by the largest players in the shipping and commodities industries.

Freight Futures often move even before the physical chartering market, and you can link a particular Futures contract to a specific shipping share.

So when the TD-3 (Freight Future on the VLCC market between the Middle East and Japan) contract moves, it could affect the direction of tanker shares with VLCC exposure, instantly!

You can now get heads-up on what happens in the Imarex freight futures market.

For a monthly fee, we will send you an instant BROKER ALERT by email, when the markets move adversely.

You will also get a daily forward curve, showing the expected long term development of each contract.

This gives YOU a head start on shipping.
