What to check on the cargo

- Map the contract currency to the settlement FX; do not assume every rate decision strengthens the dollar.
- Recalculate carry for the actual days between supplier payment and buyer receipt.

How to apply it to a cargo
- DXY 101.957 (+0.75%). Bulk cargo is dollar-priced: a stronger dollar raises the local-currency bill for EUR/VND buyers unless they hedge.
- US 10-year 5.237% (+1.02%) — higher yields show up in confirmed L/C fees and inventory carry.
- USD/VND 25,979 VND, EUR/USD $1.13. Put the print on the L/C application date; do not write 'prevailing interbank' and walk away.
Map the screen to a real parcel through Macroeconomic Trends, Monetary Policy & Trade Finance and, where freight dominates the landed bill, vessel chartering or cargo logistics.
