We source, verify and supplycommodities for buyers worldwide.
Global Economic Bridge is a commodity supply and intelligence house. We find material at source, verify the seller and the specification before you sign, and manage the shipment to your port.
The market
Physical trade fails in three places.
Unreliable origin, unproven sellers and finance that arrives late. GEB removes all three: material sourced from producers we know, sellers verified in writing, and finance arranged to one completion date.
What we do
Source, verify, supply.
Counterparties
Four kinds of counterparty use the bridge.
Buyers
Procurement directors, category heads, smelters and mills. One brief covers the search, the checks and the delivery.
Suppliers
Mines, refineries, cooperatives and farms. GEB sells your production into markets beyond your own reach, under a mandate that states what we owe you.
Finance Houses
Trade finance banks, project desks and credit funds. Trades arrive with the verification file complete.
Shipping
Owners, charterers and breakbulk operators. Cargoes arrive with specification, laycan and finance aligned.
How a mandate runs
One desk runs the whole trade.
You brief the desk once. The intelligence base finds the supplier, Verify proves the seller before you sign, and the desk brings contract, freight and finance to one completion date. Your team is not chasing suppliers, banks and forwarders across time zones.
Brief.
The desk takes the material, grade, volume and destination. One conversation opens the mandate.
Search.
The brief runs against the intelligence base. The desk returns a shortlist of live counterparties, each with an opening position.
Verify.
Verification completes before signature: specification proven, counterparty tested, risks named. Including the risks that argue against the trade.
Close.
Contract, freight and finance are brought to one completion date. Desk coverage continues after the cargo lands.
The intelligence
GEB publishes the research its desks trade on.
Each route is covered continuously: prices, buyers, policy and freight. The Monthly Commodity Intelligence brief is dated, sourced and written to be quoted, and it is available before a mandate is signed.

The sectors.
Eight sectors, one rule: if it is on the page, GEB can source it, verify it and supply it.

Graphite, lithium and battery-grade foils, sourced to cell chemistry.
Metals
Copper cathode, aluminium ingot, tungsten and antimony. Critical minerals are the deepest book.
Grains
Milling and feed grains, bought at origin and delivered at destination port.
Energy
Bitumen and bulk energy cargoes, supplied under term or spot.
Construction
Steel, iron pellets and bulk construction materials for build programmes.
Industrial Chemicals
Fluorspar, magnesite and industrial feedstocks, specified by grade and application.
Agri
Coffee, cocoa, cotton and sugar, originated from cooperatives and estates.
Fertilisers
Urea and fertiliser inputs, contracted ahead of application seasons.
The house
Three desks, one standard.
Global Economic Bridge operates from Buenos Aires, London and China. Each desk pairs producing regions with buyers in Asia, Europe and the Gulf, and each is led by someone who works both ends of its routes.
Sanctions exposure, forced labour risk and environmental standing are tested in every file, as a matter of course.
GEB Data Services
The intelligence desk, as a data feed.
GEB research is written for people and structured for machines. The pricing, route and counterparty intelligence that runs our desks is available to yours: an MCP server for agent access, and licensed data sources delivered to your stack. Access and entitlements are arranged through the desk.
Example requests: GET /llms.txt returns 200. GET /agents.md returns 200. An MCP tools list request returns 200. A corridor file request over MCP returns 200.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do you hold inventory?
No. GEB works under mandate. We originate, verify and supply against a buyer's brief, or market a supplier's production. We do not speculate on our own book.
How are you paid?
Two ways. GEB Intelligence products are priced in USD on this site: snapshots, briefs and reports are paid at checkout, monthly watches month by month, and larger scoped engagements are secured with a 25% deposit, with the balance invoiced by payment link on completion. Trading mandates are separate: fees attach to arranged phases and completed sales, named in the mandate before work starts.
How does the 25% deposit work?
Packs, Programmes and Urgent engagements are scoped to the client, so checkout takes a 25% deposit of the listed price. The deposit secures the engagement and the desk confirms scope, timeline and deliverables within one working day. The 75% balance is invoiced by secure payment link on completion of the work.
Do you charge a retainer?
Only where the product is one. Market Watch subscriptions bill monthly and stop at any month with a reply. Nothing else carries a retainer: briefs and packs are paid per engagement, and trading mandates carry no retainer at all, with fees attached to results.
Which sectors do you cover?
Eight: battery materials, metals, grains, energy, construction, industrial chemicals, agri and fertilisers. Critical minerals are the deepest book.
Where are you based?
Three desks: Buenos Aires, London and China. Registered group details are on the company page.
Can you act for both sides of a trade?
Not on the same trade. Every mandate names the side we act for, and the file states it.
What is a mandate?
The written agreement that appoints GEB for a defined trade: the material, the side we act for, the obligations and the fees. Nothing starts without one.
