Redwood Markets is a Houston, Texas, USA based transaction services company specializing in the development of emerging, illiquid markets. As a market operator our goal is to serve the last mile in the markets, the physical, over-the-counter, bilateral spot market. Through the adaptation of global commodity trading standards to meet the complex needs of developing markets, we are able to help market participants define how their market can best achieve efficiency, liquidity and reliable outcomes. Our web-based online trading platform, the Redwood Marketplace, is the vehicle that helps transform dark, illiquid markets into transparent, growing markets that create value for all stakeholders. https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/about daily 0.75 2021-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1614373603975-TP4FYORYXBDAOTTBWRLV/shutterstock_601145819+resize.jpg About We are a Team of Experienced LNG, Market and Technology Professionals. https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/our-team daily 0.75 2021-02-26 https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/redwood-marketplace daily 0.75 2021-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1614353863504-PVZBIJDGM7DNSXMEEJRL/shutterstock_1835359021.jpg+resize.jpg Redwood Marketplace - LNG is a Complex and Non-Standard Commodity Buying and selling LNG is more complex than most commodities. LNG is, by its nature, is a non-standardized product transported via maritime shipping in specialized tankers by a diverse set of global market participants. In standard markets buyers and sellers negotiate only on price, location, and term. LNG is an exception where many other factors must be negotiated prior to the execution of a transaction. Risks lie in the sheer size of a single cargo transaction, but also in the pricing structure, contracting terms and conditions, logistics and shipping, counter party credit, and many other transaction attributes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1614370562041-R2PKJUW7DQ5UZ0PA887U/shutterstock_34878559+resize.jpg Redwood Marketplace - Liquidity Objective. Liquid markets don’t just happen on their own. Market participants and market operators need to come together to solve problems that make the markets more efficient and reduce friction. The Redwood Marketplace LNG Trading Platform is purpose-built to grow liquidity in LNG markets by addressing the complexity of the commodity itself. Our objective is to grow liquidity from the “last-mile” of the market, the physical, bilateral, over-the-counter market for FOB and delivered cargoes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1614356035972-KS23Z97372VZXG0F9LCU/lego+blocks.png Redwood Marketplace - Developing Markets Require Choice. The LNG market is complex, but so are the needs of the buyers and sellers. Each market participant has different needs, and a trading platform needs to address those needs. The Redwood Marketplace offers many different trading formats that allow buyers and sellers to negotiate, establish price, and execute trades in the way they are most comfortable with. Each trading format can be launched with customized individual levels of transparency, access controls and transaction permissions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1614371209428-59OZFZ914YR6YBD2353U/shutterstock_6432520+resize.jpg Redwood Marketplace - Transparency and Anonymity. As markets develop there is often resistance to transparent pricing. The Redwood Marketplace platform takes this into consideration and allows each buyer and seller the ability to customize their level of price transparency from private requests-for-quote with no price transparency through to open-access bid-ask markets and several variations in-between. Anonymity can be key in moving toward transparent markets so that bids and offers don’t signal distress activity to the market at large. Buyers and sellers that elect to trade on the open-access markets inside the Redwood Marketplace post their bids and offers with pre-trade anonymity based on pre-qualifying their acceptable counter-parties. https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-03-15 https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/news daily 0.75 2021-02-26 https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/private-storefronts daily 0.75 2021-03-18 https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2021-02-26 https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/archived-news daily 0.75 2021-03-18 https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/our-services daily 0.75 2021-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1616084236090-CYCOOFZ533P6N4GE7CME/tanker+with+market+overlay+2+1200x800.png Our Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1616084205332-W45RJ3UEEXRR4D8NIE87/scott-graham-5fNmWej4tAA-unsplash1200x800.png Our Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1616084175265-AU5EKJYGIH4VL6S259MV/bonneval-sebastien-UIpFY1Umamw-unsplash1200x800.png Our Services https://www.redwoodmarkets.com/market-incubator daily 0.75 2022-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6036b7c38c8b7b6292dff1a8/1623771836868-T1XVPPT3ZFWO4AO6TFTB/shutterstock_611226299.png Market Incubator - Transforming Your Idea into a Market. Markets evolve, yet so many are stuck in the same dark, bilateral, non-standardized and illiquid state for far too long.
