Producer Benefits

Cobalt and molybdenum futures offer a number of benefits for producers including the ability to:

1.   Offer a long-term fixed sales price and lock-in a
      margin

2.   Lower financing costs (banks prefer hedged positions)

3.   Hedge unsold inventory in a declining market

4.   Hedge physical sales in times of production
      difficulty

The entire supply chain benefits from a transparent and accurate pricing mechanism.
