Market Insights
Two markets decide every cargo.
The products complex sets what a cargo is worth; freight decides whether it moves. Subscribers get the desk's running read on both — timestamped, sourced, and refreshed as the numbers change.

Public benchmarks shown from free sources. The desk's full files — regional differentials, arb reads and route economics — remain gated to active subscribers.
How the files are built
- Sources
- Free, public data — EIA series and public freight indices. No licensed feeds re-published; sources attributed on every file.
- Timestamps
- Every file carries an 'as of' stamp. Stale data is never presented as current — if a source is down, the last good file stays marked with its date.
- Cadence
- Refreshed on the desk's rhythm: products daily, freight weekly, plus event-driven notes when the market breaks its pattern.
- Access
- Enforced at the data layer, not the page. Files are readable only while a subscription is active.
