 International trade Bulk trade usually occurs in the field of international trade, as the supply-demand differences between different countries and regions make it necessary. For example, one country may need to import a large amount of oil or food to meet domestic demand, while another country may export a large amount of coal or metals. Bulk trade provides opportunities for these countries to trade and exchange commodities, thereby promoting the development of the global economy. Large scale: The quantity of goods involved in bulk trade is usually large, as this trade method can reduce the transportation and transaction costs of unit goods.
Cyclicality: The trading activities of bulk trade usually have periodicity, such as seasonality, market fluctuations, etc. For example, the demand for agricultural and energy products will change with the seasons, and the prices of metals and mineral products will also fluctuate with changes in market supply and demand.
High risk: Bulk trade involves a large amount of capital and goods, therefore there is a high level of risk. For example, price fluctuations, exchange rate fluctuations, transportation risks, etc. may all cause losses to traders. |
