How to read MPOB and BMD reference prices

The ticker on DX Marketplace HUB shows reference prices. MPOB prices are local delivered prices inside Malaysia, in ringgit. BMD prices are futures prices on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives for a given contract month. Neither is the price you will pay. Your price is the supplier's quote, and an export order also carries transport to the port, port and tank charges, inspection and export duty where it applies. Use the references to judge direction and fairness: if your quote moves very differently from the benchmark, ask the supplier why in the deal room.
