Demurrage

After goods reach a port, they are required to be cleared within a stipulated time. Sometimes, the goods are not cleared within the specified period of time because of one or the other reason. The detention of ship or other cargo-carrier for loading or unloading, beyond the scheduled time of departure is termed as ‘Demurrage’. A charge made on the goods by Railway or Transport Companies or shippers etc. for retaining goods beyond a specified time is called Demurrage.

Boom

This term is used to indicate a period of heavy business activity and rising prices. Fluctuations in the prices and volume of business are an essential aspect of business activity. When a market shows growth and expansion both in prices and volume of business, it is called the Boom period of the market.

Bearish

(Bear Factor, Bearish Sentiment or Short Gide of the Market)

The term ‘Bearish’ refers to the downward trend in prices. A market is called Bearish when there is a general trend of depression in the prices and volume of business transactions. Bearish Sentiment in a market brings the prices further down because every Bear Operator wants to sell his stocks at present. This trend of depression suits a Bear who sells his stock now and buys in future when prices fall further. The Bearish market reduces the profit margin.
