The Holy Grail of Commodity Trading // Shipping Rates Explosion
SUMMARY
- The Holy Grail of Commodity Trading? If there is a holy grail of commodity trading, I would say it’s becoming a master in reading the movements in the futures forward curve.
- Knowing how futures contracts change and how the curve shifts from contango to backwardation, and vice versa, gives commodity traders a lot of useful info about the physical supply and demand.
- While many market participants argue about the meaning and definition of backwardation and contango, the direction in which the spreads are actually moving is far more important to us.
