FAQs

What is procurement in supply chain management?

Procurement is the process of obtaining or purchasing goods or services, typically pertaining to business purposes. This process requires preparation, solicitation and payment processing. Procurement involves strategy and competitive bidding, and StoneX professionals are experts in procurement management.

How does commodity pricing work?

Commodity pricing is determined by fundamental factors and supply and demand. The commodity marketplace is extremely volatile because factors such as economic events, environmental changes, consumer preferences and governmental policies can all trigger waves of buying and selling, and affect the cost of certain commodities. Supply and demand can also play a huge role in commodity market pricing because when supply is low, demand is high, which leads to higher prices. When supply is high and demand is low, then prices drop.
