Abstract:
A method for managing inventories of commodities using a centralized inventory database to facilitate commodity trading. The method includes propagating the centralized inventory database with long and short inventory positions submitted by various dealers. Dealers use the centralized inventory database to locate long and short inventory positions of other dealers, coordinate commodity trades to offset their own long and short positions, and to adjust their own inventory positions to better address market forces.
