Specifications, coverage and how to compare
Trading Basis & Assessment Specifications
Each series keeps its own delivery basis and published unit.
Hub Coverage
- 4 series with a loaded observation; 0 daily and 4 weekly.
- Units: USD/mt (4).
- Delivery terms in the basis column: FOB (2), CFR (1), CIF (1). Different delivery terms are not interchangeable; the gap may reflect freight, insurance, basis, parcel and timing differences.
- Latest assessment dates range from 13 Aug 2026 to 9 Oct 2026; compare only series with the same date.
How to Compare These Series
- All series in this hub are weekly assessments; the change shown compares two consecutive weekly readings.
- FOB series (2) price the cargo at the loading port; CFR/CIF series (2) 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.
Based on each series delivery term, unit and type. No average across bases or units is computed for this hub.
