CONTRACTS FUTURES Futures contracts are purchases or sales of goods for a specified delivery date in the future at prices established today. On the futures market the goods that underlie the contract are always at a specific stage of production. On the MARKET PLACE, this is at the semi-processed stage, where the raw material has been turned into an easily handled, non-perishable form such as ingots, cathodes, pellets etc. If the delivery of these goods take place, then the futures contract becomes a physical contract. In the main this does not happen. Futures contracts are usually cancelled out by an equal and opposite contract: buy/sell back. This is because futures trading is about price. Sometimes, it is solely about price, buying low/selling high, but usually it’s about price risk and the offsetting of risk by hedging. The specified delivery date of a futures contract is referred to as the prompt date, by which time either the position must be closed or a delivery will take place. On the MARKET PLACE, the final trading day, the last day a position can be closed, is two days before the prompt date. An important aspect of MP futures contracts is that, with the exception of the LMEX contract, they are not settled until the prompt date. They are not cash cleared. Initial margins and variation margins against risk exposure will be called during the term of a contract, but the value of a contract is not paid until delivery. OPTION METAL MARKET What is an options contract?
Option contracts give trade hedgers and investors a more flexible alternative to futures as a means of trading on the Exchange. When buying an options contract, the purchaser (taker) is not entering into a firm obligation. They are simply buying a choice of action. This choice allows the genuine trade hedger the opportunity of locking in a fixed price while maintaining the ability to abandon the option in order to take advantage of favourable price movements. This would be forfeited with a straight futures hedge. A call option is a contract giving its owner the right but not the obligation to buy an futures contract(s) at a fixed price (strike price) at any time on or before a given date. A put option is a contract giving its owner the right but not the obligation to sell and futures contract(s) at a fixed price (strike price) at any time on or before a given date. The cost of purchasing the option is referred to as the premium and, unless the option is traded on, this is a write-off. It is not part of the value of the underlying futures contract. This means it is down to the user's perception of the market and the cost of the option as to whether they choose to use futures or options as their hedging medium. SERVICES SEACBANK

of London chicago New York honk kong 1-THE PLATINUM AND THE PALADIUM
The growth of the Chinese markets for platinum and palladium in jewellery and, to a lesser extent, in autocatalysts is probably the most significant feature of the world PGM industry in recent years. In 2004, Chinese jewellers purchased some 31t of platinum and 22t of palladium, representing about 45% and 77% respectively of world PGM demand for jewellery, and almost 12% of world PGM demand. Use of platinum group metals in autocatalysts in China is still relatively small (5.6t in 2004), but there is significant potential for growth in both China and India. Demand for platinum and palladium is expected to grow by about 3%py and 5%py respectively up to 2010. Autocatalysts will continue to drive the market as car production grows in China and India, and emission standards are tightened and enforced. The use of platinum, palladium and rhodium to catalyse the conversion of noxious exhaust emissions from petrol and diesel driven vehicles is by far the largest use for platinum group metals. In Europe, where Stage IV emissions limits came into force in 2005, demand for platinum autocatalysts has risen sharply as sales of fuel-efficient diesel cars continue to grow in response to higher fuel prices. Carmakers in North America are moving back to palladium catalysts in response to the decline in palladium prices, while new regulations governing emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles in Japan caused demand for platinum autocatalysts to rise steeply in both 2003 and 2004. The use of palladium in electrical and electronic applications, once its largest market, has declined sharply since 2000 as a consequence of miniaturisation, and substitution by nickel in layered ceramics. Platinum is being used in increasing volumes to enhance storage capacity density on hard drive disks for computers, digital cameras, mobile phones and other devices. The numerous minor uses of platinum group metals in the automotive, aerospace, chemical process and medical industries are all forecast to have growth potential, but the volumes involved are small. In 2005, 22 mines owned by eight companies were producing platinum group metals as a primary product, 18 of which are in South Africa, while a further three operations in Russia and Canada were producing substantial amounts as a by-product of nickel. Although some 19 platinum group metals projects were being developed or were under consideration in 2005, most were being reassessed because of the strong Rand in South Africa, and political uncertainty in Zimbabwe.
2-THE GOLD
The top three gold producing countries in the world are South Africa, the United States and Australia in that order.Reclamation is a long-term investment made by every gold mining company, and can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 per acre. It is the cornerstone of every mine plan and is considered the first and last step of the mining process.
Gold is the leading export for South Africa.Around two thirds of all jewelry manufacture takes place in the developing world and the proportion is rising.India is the world's largest market for gold jewelry, accounting in 2004 for one fifth of the global total. Today, consumer demand for gold jewelry is growing by over 20% per annum. Over the last 20 years, gold has shown no statistically significant correlation with equities. That applies not just to international equities, including those traded in London, Tokyo, Frankfurt, and so on. Approximately 12% of demand for gold comes from industry.
3-THE RHENIO
4-THE Indian
5-THE COBALT
Without doubt, the main reason for the volatility in the market the cobalt was the enormous increase in cobalt demand for rechargeable batteries in China.
However, offsetting this increase in demand was the massive unforeseen increase in Chinese production now estimated to total about 9,000 tonnes in 2004. Whether this growth in production and demand will be sustained has yet to be seen.Demand for hybrid car is growing so rapidly that there are reports of a possibility of a shortage of rechargeable batteries.At the present rate of growth, China will become the second largest car producer in the world by 2011, only surpassed by the USA.And when increasing the demand then also a greater demand of cobalt for the use in rechargeable batteries
6-THE COPPER
The production quantity of air-conditioners in China is increasing rapidly these years, rendering its copper tube market allegedly the largest in the world. It is known, in order for copper tube manufacturers to survive highly competitive markets, that the production of high-performance copper tubes coping with new refrigerants and energy-saving issues is required, not to mention high-quality and low-cost copper tube production using the latest model of manufacturing plants. Thus, a business initiative has been urgently necessitated to securely deal with the rapidly expanding Chinese market.
7-THE LEADS
The leads are made of fine, multi-stranded copper wire for maximum flexibility In addition, the leads remain flexible at both low and high temperatures while being able take a ‘bump’ with a soldering iron.
Specialises in the supply of leads and cables of all types In particular, we provide high quality audio leads in various formats
8-THE SILVER
China's silver output maintained high-speed growth to reach 1,183.9 tons in the first year, up 15.81% year-on-year. Silver production in China has presented two features this year: Mineral silver remained stable, and the output of regenerated and retrieved silver grew faster than that of mineral silver.China published 3 batches of silver export quotas in 2002, standing at 1,260 tons, 540 tons and 416 tons respectively. Thus the total silver export quota in 2002 reached 2,216 tons.The first-batch export quota in 2003 is 1,720 tons.As for structure of consumption, electronics and electrical make up 35% of the total silver consumption in China; sensitive materials, 20%; chemical reagent and materials, 20%; handicraft and jewellery, 10%; and other sectors, 15%. The electronic industry is the largest consumer of silver. Silver consumption in China is increasing year by year.
As China further opens its gold and silver market, the space for development of silver products and jewellery is huge. Development of the electronic industry is also posing increasing demand for silver alloy, silver paste and silver contact. Generally speaking, the application prospects for the silver industry are vast.With the manufacturing industry consuming increased silver output and a lot of the silver output exported, the space for silver price drop will be limited.The central bank recently revoked some examination and approval procedures on gold and silver import and export and processing.
The volatility of the silver market, and the constant fluctuations of shipping costs due to the energy market prohibits us from posting an on-line inventory price sheet at this time.Which is why we're all in business. If you're tired of paying those ridiculously inflated high prices for electrical contacts, let us give you a price quote today.
9- THE ALUMINUM
The aluminum industry has evolved over the past 100 years from the limited production of alloys and products to the high-volume manufacture of a wide variety of products. Today’s U.S. aluminum production includes roughly 5.6 million tonnes of flat-rolled products, 1.7 million tonnes of extrusions and tube, and 2.4 million tonnes of ingot/castings.1 These products are used in a wide variety of markets, including building and construction, transportation, and packaging. Markets also exist for such products as electrical conductors (EC), forgings, rod, wire, bar, and powders and pastes, as shown in the “other” category in Size increases continued over the years—today’s sheet ingots may reach 15.5 tonnes and extrusion billet are produced as large as 1.2 m in diameter.
Economic considerations will be paramount as aluminum products defend their territory or go after new markets against competitive materials.
For markets where material cost is not the primary driver, alloys and processing methods will likely become even more highly specialized.Low density and product versatility have been keys thus far in expanding aluminum’s fast-growing transportation market.
10-THE ALLOYS
Alloys has been at the front of market development from the earliest days from the beginning.To meet the needs of a changing marketplace,alloys in seacbank has recently developed innovative programs and services to assist customers with price risk management, supply chain management, strategic market planning, and customer satisfaction and prospects to satisfy current requirements and drive new market growth.
Collaborate with zinc alloy die-casting manufacturers.
11-THE STEEL
China has rapidly emerged as the world’s top producer and plans to increase steel output by one-third over the next few years, with much of that sold abroad. China already has become the fifth-largest supplier of steel to the U.S. in only two years of exporting here and will probably take the No. 1 spot before 2010.
The demand for steel cans in California arises from western copper and steel production, and to some extent, iron foundries. This demand is affected by production rates of copper ore, U.S. steel production, and the global market for ferrous scrap. Future demand for steel cans will largely depend on the worldwide demand for copper and steel. The demand for copper and steel is, in turn, largely dependent on the growth rate of the western, U.S., and global economies. As the economies expand, more copper and steel is used in the industrial, transportation, and construction sectors
12-THE SCRAP OF IRON
Chinese firms also are increasing their purchases of iron, steel, copper and aluminum scrap. The country’s scrap iron and steel imports jumped from $950 million in 2002 to about $1.75 billion in 2004 and will be nearly $3.3 billion by 2008, according to global trade information services, a trade consultancy.
13-THE FERROUS SCRAP
The ferrous scrap market is an old and well-established market operating on a world-wide scale. On an annual tonnage basis, more ferrous scrap is recycled than all other secondary materials combined. The market ferrous scrap operates as a part of the larger market for industrial ferrous scrap. The largest quantities of ferrous metals are found in durable goods such as appliances, furniture, tires, and other miscellaneous durables, and in steel cans.
