Bottles of milk and cream on a counter, a milk tanker passing the window at a dairy plant behind

Liquids

Weather, drought, feed conditions. Demand that is same-day fresh. Liquid prices can move violently inside a single day, and the long term is often easier to call than the price in 48 hours.

A market that has to clear surpluses at low prices and cover shortages at high premiums. To our mind the perfect market for the marketplace: somewhere to place extra volume quickly, or to top up a short.
