Global Market References

Live Metal Exchanges, Benchmarks & Trusted Mineral Intelligence

We track global market direction through leading exchanges and public benchmark sources. Industrial minerals are priced by specification (purity, PSD, packaging, Incoterms & destination) — not by ticker alone.

Procurement Lens (How to Compare)

Benchmarks help you anchor “direction” — EB TA aligns final pricing through specification + logistics.

  • Spec: purity, PSD, moisture, whiteness, contaminants
  • Packaging: sample / bag / big-bag / bulk
  • Route: destination, port, transit time, freight
  • Incoterms: EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP (as applicable)

Mini Glossary (Quick)

Short definitions used in RFQs and market pages:

  • PSD: Particle Size Distribution (granulometry)
  • Benchmark: reference price/contract for comparison
  • Spread: difference between two references (spec vs market)
  • Liquidity: how actively a contract trades

What else we can add

Optional “Mineral Intelligence” Add-ons

If you want this page to feel like a true “market intelligence hub”, we can extend it with the blocks below:

Freight indices (dry bulk) references Energy (oil/gas) reference links FX reference (USD/TRY, EUR/USD context) Monthly market notes (blog/insights) Procurement checklist (PDF download) “Send Spec” quick template buttons FAQ + structured schema for SEO
Recommended next step (clean & high value)

Add a “Market Notes” section that links to short internal posts (2–4 paragraphs) about how global trends affect industrial procurement, without claiming live pricing. This boosts SEO and makes the page feel premium.
