HOW DOES GDT WORK?

Twice a month, sellers report their volumes for sale and starting price to the online auction, which then opens for bidders. If the total bids exceed the volume available, a new bidding round begins at a higher price. Further bidding rounds are initiated as necessary until demand matches supply. In this way, both buyers and sellers can be sure to obtain the best price of the day in the global marketplace.
