futures
Discussion of futures focused mainly on their limitations as forecasting tools and their role in hedging and risk management. J Mintzmyer described freight agreements as short-term futures whose pricing can expose tanker-rate investors to severe downside if spot rates fall 1. Josh Young said crude futures are poor predictors of spot prices, while David Hay argued oil futures are underpricing physical-market conditions 26. Futures were also presented as instruments for hedging government bonds and managing risk across asset classes 34.

The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
