Fixing the Ocean Freight Market Overcapacity Issue – Is it Done Yet?Xeneta
Improving global demand for goods has resulted in a higher demand for global transportation.

Who Do You Have Your Ocean Freight Contracts With?Xeneta
Ocean freight negotiations are a source of constant tussle between shippers and their service providers. This is especially true, post 2008 where the freight rates have been on a roller coaster ride making it very difficult to work with fixed shipping costs.

We asked our social media community who they have their ocean freight contracts with.
Winning With Commodities
http://www.candlestickforums.com/
Winning with commodities starts with learning the basics through commodities and futures training. Learning what commodities are and which commodity to trade is a start. Commodity prices as recorded in commodity trading charts give traders a useful view of the commodities markets. Commodity trading with the use of Candlestick chart analysis has helped traders since Candlestick basics were developed by rice traders in Japan centuries ago. Those traders were winning with commodities when the Samurai were in power by letting the market tell them what the market would do. To win with commodities the trader will need to understand basic and fundamental analysis of individual commodities as well technical analysis. Through the use of technical analysis tools the trader will be able to predict commodity trends and market reversal. Through the use of Candlestick pattern formations the trader will have the tools necessary for winning with commodities.
Fundaments of Commodity Trading
The fundamentals in commodities trading vary by commodity. The fundamentals for trading gold futures have to do with the economy and the ability to economically mine gold. Since many use gold bullion for hedging against inflation or even protection against economic and monetary collapse, a recession or persistent inflation will typically drive the price of gold up. Much of the gold in the developed world has been mined near to surface. Thus extraction is taking place at great depth in the mines of North America and South Africa. Newer mines where extraction is easier are often in developing and politically unstable countries. The commodity market for an agricultural product such as corn or soybeans will be very dependent upon the weather in the world’s major crop growing areas such as the United States Corn Belt. Knowing market analysis with the fundamentals is essential for winning with commodities for it is the fundamentals of supply and demand that will determine commodity price when the commodity futures contracts expire.

In the world of online trading, one trades, stocks, currencies, and commodities.

Commodity futures can be traded directly or by way of options. What commodities can be traded as futures? Precious metals such as gold bullion, agricultural products such as wheat, or energy products such as crude oil are all available as commodities futures. Where does one trade commodity futures? Knowing how to trade commodities starts with the basics.

Commodity is the generic term for any marketable item that people produce, dig up, or refine for in order to sell to satisfy demand. Trading of commodity futures is possible because tradable commodities are standardized. For example, one can buy or sell a futures contract for a specific grade of crude oil. Refined gold bullion is standardized as are pork bellies, varieties of corn, soybeans, and much, much, more. Thus a soybean contract can be satisfied by crops from Brazil or Iowa. A corn contract can be satisfied by shipments from Nebraska or the Ukraine. For the commodity futures trader it may make little difference who is going to eventually sell or pay for a specific contracted lot of a commodity. The trader will most commonly exit his contract by making an opposite trade one he has made a profit or minimized a loss.
What Determines Commodity Futures Prices?
The price of a bushel of corn, ounce of gold, or barrel of oil is determined by market forces, supply and demand. Commodity prices have to do with what is on hand, what is in transit, and what is likely to be available in the foreseeable future. For example, known oil reserves have the effect of reducing today’s oil prices. Excellent weather raises crop forecasts and depresses the price of corn, soybeans, or wheat. The threat of war and disruption of crude oil transport raises the price of oil.

There are records of traders hedging commodities as early as 17th century Holland and Japan (Tulips and Rice). It was in 1848 that the Chicago Board of Trade was founded. Centrally located for United States agriculture the commodities exchange became the most important in the world for hedging commodities. The necessity for trading commodity futures comes from the uncertainties of crop and livestock production. A drought with a subsequent bad harvest or loss of livestock can be devastating for farmers and ranchers. Thus many large operations and, especially, cooperatives have engaged in hedging commodities for many years. Commodity and futures training will show beginning commodities traders how profits are made from trading commodities.
Commodities trading began with producers and their buyers coming together to create a stable market for agricultural products. Today commodity futures are still largely the province of those actively involved in agriculture. However, trading in commodities is not limited to growers and processors of agricultural products. Many who are trading commodities online are able to profit from the movements in the grain and meat markets without ever planting a row of corn or butchering a steer. Candlestick basics have worked in Japanese rice trading for centuries and Candlestick chart analysis is useful today in trading everything from rice to gold to environmental credits.

Commodities Futures Trading Basics
1. Commodities Basics "Commodities are not only essential to life, but they are absolutely necessary for quality of life“ is what we can talk about commodity trading. For its importance, today we will have a small talk about Commodities Basics. So, What are Commodities ?
2. Commodities and futures trading evolved over many years, borne out of the necessity to standardize forward contracts on goods and to possibly manage price risk which is associated with trading or producing those goods. You know, the word commodity comes from the French; it was spelled “commodite’” which means to profit or benefit.
3. The grains transport center which was Chicago on the Great Lakes in the breadbasket of the Midwest, gave birth to the modern futures markets in many ways. For around a century, The Chicago Board of Trade ( CBOT ) has been known as an important center for futures prices and grain futures.
4. To compare with futures trading and commodity exchanges, commodity future trading with options is a little younger. Options were at first considered with caution as they were derivatives of actual futures contracts. Options trading are now a popular trading vehicle for speculators and hedgers alike in modern times.
5. About the whole commodities future trading, it is now popular all across the globe. Electronics are used in commodity trading. This make it more convenient when commodity prices are now available online, and electronic trading has replaced much of the original floor trading which existed on exchanges.
6. Where commodity broker used to take place on the floor of a commodity futures trading market with traders using hand signals and gestures while ticker tape ran you now might see commodity futures online trading.
7. Things have been changed. Much of the trading is done solely on an electronic market without any open outcry trading. Cocoa futures, sugar futures, and coffee futures are some of the markets that no longer have an open outcry session.
8. What commodities are traded today? Each futures market is made for a commodity which demonstrates the need for a market for fair price discovery. The particular importance for futures markets has changed over time.
9. This is proved that there are a number of commodity futures trading contracts which were once considered a necessity and are now obsolete including butter and potatoes. While some of others was banned from trading for price fixing on products such as onion futures.
10. The rest of futures markets once considered different have now become news headline makers such as natural gas or ethanol. “ Trading in futures and options involves a substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.”
