The Futures Prices Product has been expanded considerably, and is now considerably more valuable - a must-have monitoring tool for traders, shipowners, charterers, fuel producers, risk officers, consultants, and others.

Due to its highly competitive nature, the futures market has become an important economic tool to predict prices for today's and tomorrow's estimated amount of supply and demand. It is highly active and central to the global marketplace, a source for vital market information and sentiment indicators.

There are two main reasons why this information is of importance: 1) It allows you to get insights into the direction in which current and future price is going. 2) Risk reduction when making purchases in the futures markets.
