Benchmark price

Price of a commodity at the border of a country. It is the price, whether actual or estimated, at which a commodity arrives at a country (if imported) or leaves a county (if exported). It reflects the opportunity cost for domestic market participants. It is the price of the commodity free of country’s own policy distortions.
