November 15, 2009
Futures fray | www.tradewinds.no
FFA dispute between Marine Trade, Luxembourg, Pioneer Futures, China and Armada of Singapore ended up in London court for US Dollar settlement under the terms of FFABA master agreement. It is unclear in the article if the trade went through Oslo's Imarex and NOS clearing. Due to precipitous drop in baltic indices during 4Q08, 1Q09 such cases became common. FFAs a channel that was promoted as risk management tool for freight contracts has failed to achieve its very fundamental purpose for users.

In post Beijing olympics world, is China taking a closer look at her important purchasing decisions or is it more than that? Is this really special to China and iron ore trade or is it more prevalent in other commodity trades also. Corporate espionage and bribery are not foreign concepts to foreign trade.

The exchange had successful period of being able to transact over 35% of global dry bulk markets and 50% of tanker markets.The availability of internet technologies is threatening the traditional walls of the exchange.
