Basis
Physical; basis stated on every quote

We buy and sell physical metal in the forms industry consumes: cathodes, ingots, billets, coils, concentrates and alloys. Each cargo is assayed at load and discharge, priced against the relevant LME or regional benchmark, and hedged on the day it is fixed.

We originate from producers in Africa, the CIS and South Asia and place into consumers across the Gulf, Turkey, India and China. Where a buyer needs tolling, warehousing or deferred pricing, we structure it.

We take title and delivery risk, and we are paid for solving the distance between producer and consumer.
