Managing Freight Market Volatility Risk: Are Freight Futures Right For You?

BIMCO's Chief Market Analyst, Peter Sand, presents his views on the dry bulk sector for Q1 2019

Inflation and interest rates are rising, supply chains remain under extreme stress, and fuel and raw material costs are surging. All of this is bound to impact demand over time, putting company revenues and margins under pressure. On top of these new challenges, fundamental business pressures are increasing. This means it’s never been more important for procurement teams responsible for supplies supporting Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) to do more with less. So, how can they take control when confronted by these new realities?
