Links Commodities trading platform
In short
The Links Commodities trading platform is a multi-broker screen showing our FOB Dutch mill rapeseed oil market alongside other brokers’ markets. It gives traders one view of the market, fewer phone calls and tidier administration, and works alongside our over-the-phone broking. The FOB Dutch mill terms, specifications and contract stay the same.
On the trading platform, hosted by Trayport, Links Commodities publishes its rapeseed oil market alongside other brokerage firms and products.
The FDM rapeseed oil market has grown over the last ten years. Industry feedback is that the FDM rapeseed oil paper market works, but there is a requirement for more efficiency and added benefits.
The platform brings together Links Commodities’ trading and industry background, Trayport’s commitment to facilitating trading, and Totika Systems’ excellence in back-office execution in commodity markets.
