Specifications, coverage and how to compare

Trading Basis & Assessment Specifications

Each series keeps its own delivery basis and published unit.

Hub Coverage

  • 75 series with a loaded observation; 75 daily and 0 weekly.
  • Units: USD/dmt (50), CNY/wmt (17), USD/dmtu (4), CNY/dmt (1), INR/mt (1), USc/dmtu (1), USD/mt (1). Values in different units are not converted or compared on this site.
  • Delivery terms in the basis column: no Incoterm stated (44), CFR (29), FOB (2). Different delivery terms are not interchangeable; the gap may reflect freight, insurance, basis, parcel and timing differences.
  • Latest assessment dates range from 8 Oct 2026 to 29 Oct 2026; compare only series with the same date.

How to Compare These Series

  • All series in this hub are daily assessments; the change shown compares two consecutive daily readings.
  • FOB series (2) price the cargo at the loading port; CFR series (29) include freight to the named destination. Compare within one delivery term; the gap between terms may reflect freight, insurance, location basis, parcel size and timing, and is neither a margin nor a freight rate.
  • Units differ: USD/dmt (50), USD/dmtu (4), CNY/wmt (17), CNY/dmt (1), USc/dmtu (1), INR/mt (1), USD/mt (1). Pick the series in the unit you trade; this site does not convert between them.

Based on each series delivery term, unit and type. No average across bases or units is computed for this hub.
