Trading Iron Ore: A feasibility study for a new derivatives contract
Metal Bulletin Research’s 100-page report on iron ore derivatives is compiled by established industry experts (with active experience in commodities trading and in the launches of numerous commodity contracts such as coal and freight).
This in-depth study from Metal Bulletin Research is based on its expertise as well as its vast experience, data and knowledge in the iron ore market.
The authors have conducted more than 50 in-depth interviews with producers, end users, traders and financial institutions that are participants in the physical trade and could participate in an iron ore financial market.
The report provides a detailed explanation of the methodology developed by Metal Bulletin to develop its iron ore index.

The report is split in four key parts:
1) Iron ore physical market
2) Rationale for an index and methodology of the MBIO Index

4) Potential participants in the iron ore financial market
