MAF Intelligence introduces Weekly Insights, wherein we share our findings as derived from our quantitative models. This week, we identified trends in certain ICE, SGX, DCE and SHFE commodities.
- Strong correlation between ICE sugar and ICE coffee at 91.27%. From the Cross-Correlation Chart, we can gather a high correlation between the ICE Sugar No.11 Futures and ICE Coffee "C" Futures from their price movements. It could be a good pair trading strategy for them.
- Deep backwardation in SGX Iron Ore.
- Price of SGX Iron Ore fully drives FFA freight rates up. As the SGX Iron Ore (SGX, FEF) rises, FFA freight rates quickly follow in recent transactions. This may be a continuing trend?
- Comparing the prices of DCE Iron ore and SHFE Rebar, spread trading is more intuitive.
