Metals Concentrate and Mining
Global markets are moving away from fixed-price, long-term contracts and towards short-term spot- or index-based contracts. Emerging exchanges with quoted prices and indices for metals and steel are making it happen. Prices are more volatile. Managing costs, including secondary costs, is vital for a profitable business operation especially if your business involves the mining, transportation, or production of metals and metal concentrates.
ENTRADE® conveniently manages the specifications, warehouse costs, and shipping costs of your products. And since the market shifts, Entrade can show your position with all of these costs and production values involved.
Coal logistics and mining
With coal prices historically lower and more stable than oil and gas, coal is likely to remain the most affordable fuel for power generation in many developing and industrialized countries for decades. And politics is moving back in the direction of coal, too, like a swinging pendulum.
Because of low volatility in prices, managing costs is most important. To control costs, major coal users need to focus on supply chain and inventory efficiency as well as managing quality specification from contract to delivery. ENTRADE® can help you manage all of these important details that make the bottom line much better.
