Since 1865, the Jacobsen has been used as a benchmark for the markets we serve. The benchmark status has been earned over the last century and a half as a result of our unbiased, rigorous, neutral position in the market. We collect offers, bids, and trades daily. We communicate every trading day with all segments of the market: buyers, sellers, traders and brokers in order to get the whole picture. We know the overall tone of the market, where complementary commodities are trading, which folks are perpetually bullish and those that are always bearish.
