Broad tips 'out of form' Bopara to play pivotal role at T20 World Cup
London: England Twenty20 captain Stuart Broad has backed beleaguered all rounder Ravi Bopara to prove his worth, tipping him to play an important role with his bowling during the T20 World Cup on the spin-friendly pitches of Sri Lanka.
Bopara's miserable run of form continued when he was out for another single-figure score as England lost the first T20 to South Africa in Durham on Saturday by seven wickets.
But Broad insisted he retains faith in Bopara's skills and sees him as a key player in Sri Lanka.
"Ravi has struggled in the last couple of weeks, but he's working very hard on putting that right. You know as a batsman you can be one shot away from something clicking and finding yourself back in form and T20 is the perfect format for that,' the Daily Express quoted Broad, as saying.
"In this game you can play with a bit of licence and let that freedom come back to your game. Ravi is simply way short of his best in recent times, but a succession of his team-mates have got out to poor shots, or poor judgment," he added.
"We hope Ravi can get back to his best because he'll be an important player for us in Sri Lanka – not just with the bat. His bowling will be useful on those sort of wickets," he said.

Best Burr Coffee Grinder
Grinding coffee at home has become very popular especially for a lot of coffee lovers. Find the best burr coffee grinder is very difficult to do because there are lot of choices out there. To be able to ensure the freshness of your coffee you need to be able to know when the optimal time to grind a particular coffee bean. Just before brewing your favorite cup of coffee is best because you will be able to protect the coffee bean from losing it flavor. There are two types of coffee grinders, one is called the blade coffee grinder and the other on is called the burr coffee grinder. The main difference of the two is how they grind coffee beans. Blade grinders have a blade that typically rotates very fast around twenty thousand to like thirty thousand rounds per minutes. They are perfect for your typical home drip coffee maker and also percolators but the main disadvantage of a blade coffee grinder is that they create coffee dust which can clog up the pump of an espresso machine. The best burr coffee grinder has two disk blades. One that is rotating and the other blade remains stationary. They create a much more consistent type of ground coffee bean and are able to preserve the flavor and the aroma of the coffee bean.
The best burr coffee grinder is able to grind different types of coffee and at different fineness levels or at different sizes that is fit for different types of coffee makers and different types of coffee. Best burr coffee grinder can be adjusted to be able to create different types of grind. There are different types of grinds that you can create. Coarse grind, these are grinds that are relatively large and perfect for percolators and even French presses. They typically look like a grain of sand. Medium grind is one of the most popular type of grind because the can be used in any type coffee maker. This type of grind is what you get in a typical can of coffee that is bought in a store. This type of grind is perfect for drip coffee makers. Fine grind is what you need for espresso. This type of grind would resemble salt or pepper. The reason why espressos need fine grinds is that if you expose more of the coffee beans overall surface area the more coffee you will get to extract.

Early Morning Fire destroys home based business
Engine 464 along with many neighboring companies responded to a reported shed fire on Deer Park Road. Engine 464 was able to deploy two hand lines but due to the location of the home, water to the scene had to be provided by the fire engines responding in.
When Engine 464 arrived the crew found a large volume of fire extending from two sides of the structure; unfortunately many animals were lost but crews were able to keep the fire from extending to nearby structures.
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to our very own Jerry Johnson. Jerry has been a member since August of 2015 and has contributed to helping the company improve through community events and new ideas. We welcome Jerry to the family and look forward to your completion of your core classes so you can assist us with helping the community.

Busy days post snow
Post blizzard wrap-up
Liberty Road crews responded on just over 60 calls in 72 hours during the January snow storm. Many of the calls came in over night and during the height of the storm. Crews did their best to keep the station shoveled and plowed out so they could respond on calls during the relentless weather. Many thanks to the Maryland National Guard, Private Contractors, Baltimore County Public Schools, and the State Highway workers who helped plow the way to emergency calls and assist with stuck emergency vehicles.
LRVFC welcomes Royal Farms
Hydrant safety message
As this storm approaches please be assured we are making preparations to be able to serve our community as best as possible. We have 4wheel drive emergency vehicles with plows, chains, and a full staff that will be housed at the station ready and waiting in the event there is an emergency.
Home owners should please take effort in keeping fire hydrants clear of snow. If you have called us for an emergency and hear us coming please have someone flag us down or flash your outside lights if you are able to, as some mailboxes and or addresses may not be clear due to poor visibility and snow depth.
If you do not have to travel in the snow please don't! Stay home and stay safe so you don't become one of the emergencies we are called to respond to!
Happy Birthday
As we prepare for the invoking snow we want to send a special Happy Birthday shout out to our very own JARRON WORMLEY! Jarron is currently a Sergeant here at LRVFC and has been a very dedicated member since he joined our company several years. So Jarron, on behalf of the LRVFC family we wish you a Happy Birthday from the bottom of our hearts and we hope you enjoy the snow.

Getting Ready for the Holidays
Liberty Road Crews got together today to decorate the station and apparatus in preparation for Santa's arrival. We look forward to seeing you as we escort Santa throughout our district. For more information or to get on our informational list contact Sgt. Wormley 410-887-0651 ext. 226 firstname.lastname@example.com
Vehicle almost into water
Crews responded to a close call where a vehicle almost went off the road and into water while driving on a back road within our district. Fortunately occupants of the vehicle were able to exit the vehicle safely without entering the water. Please remember to drive safely with due regard to road conditions and visibility and always obey the posted speed limit in order to remain safe.
Please be patient while we fix our website. We just found out our entire website was attacked. The cyber attackers posted links to replica watches, removed our pictures, damaged our links, and changed our site. Please bear with us over the next few days as we add layers of security to our website. No financial information was compromised during this cyber attack. Please stay tuned for further updates and be careful during the anticipated storms for the weekend of October 3-5, 2015. If you have any questions please reference the below email addresses.
Water can be dangerous
In the middle of the night Liberty Road crews were up tending to several flooded basements. In this incident water filled an exterior basement entrance putting enough pressure on the door to cause it to buckle and eventually ripped it from the hinges. The door is seen on the other side of the room. When crews arrived there were several inches of water that flooded the basement causing water damage. We urge everyone to be safe when it comes to rapidly rising water as the power of water can be enough to injure or cause severe damage to persons or property in it's path.
Serious crash in the middle of the night
Engine 461 responded to a single vehicle collision in which a vehicle struck a parked vehicle and a power line pole. The driver appeared to be seriously injured requiring immediate medical attention that eventually led up to a medevac transport to a trauma center via the Maryland State
Police Aviation unit.

SAE International is an association comprised of engineers and other
technical experts in the aerospace, automotive and commercial vehicle
Jack Pokrzywa, manager of Global Ground Vehicle Standards at SAE International, called the agreement an important step.
"The integration of consumer electronics products into the vehicle
continues to advance," said Dave Wilson, vice president of Technology
& Standards at CEA. "From navigation devices to rear-seat
entertainment systems to aftermarket products that let consumers equip
older vehicles with the latest technology, consumer electronics continue
to play a big role in the driving experience."
When asked by Radio World whether in-car radio tuners could be
affected by the agreement, a spokeswoman for CEA said it's possible,
but it's likely that initial discussions will focus on connectivity
between CE devices that are brought into the car, like MP3 players and
iPods, for example, and in-vehicle systems.

In this lackluster economy, an unlikely catalyst could provide a much-needed boost.
The moribund U.S. manufacturing sector has struggled with low oil prices, the strong dollar and a soft global economy. But it finally showed signs of life in March. Further evidence that manufacturing is regaining its footing is expected in a report due Monday. And improving activity could help the sputtering economy far more than many expect.
Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal estimate that the Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index hit 51.2 in April. That would be the second consecutive month above 50, implying customers' orders and factory production are expanding. It was in contraction, or below 50, from late summer of last year through March.
Yes, manufacturing doesn't pack as much punch to the U.S. economy as it once did. Less than 10% of U.S. employment is in the manufacturing sector, down from about 25% in the 1970s and nearly 40% in the 1940s. Yet those figures also don't account for people like truck drivers. They aren't necessarily employed in manufacturing, but still depend on it for their livelihood.
To get a sense of how much that matters, consider last week's report on U.S. gross domestic product. The economy expanded by only 0.5% in the first quarter, hurt by tumultuous financial markets and weak global demand.
Contributing to the pain, fixed nonresidential investment, a measure of business spending, fell 5.9%, its biggest drop since 2009. This metric, which included sharp declines in spending on equipment and structures, subtracted 0.76 percentage point from GDP's overall growth rate. A pickup in manufacturing activity would help ease the pain in the current quarter.
With oil prices bouncing off a low hit in February and the dollar's strength waning in recent months, manufacturers have gotten a bit of a reprieve. Should this continue, the U.S. economy's tough start to 2016 might again be nothing more than a blip.
At the beginning of 2014, the economy contracted. In early 2015, it barely expanded. But in both instances, GDP recovered and ultimately advanced by 2.4% each year.
The economy has dug itself another hole—one that it should again be able to manufacture itself out of.

The shortlist of movie studios up for grabs just got even shorter, but that doesn't necessarily change the outlook for what is left.
When announced last Tuesday, Comcast's $3.8 billion deal for DreamWorks Animation SKG caused shares of Lions Gate Entertainment to climb 8.5%. On an earnings call that day, Viacom chief Philippe Dauman said it "shows the value" of his company's Paramount Pictures. Viacom is considering taking on a minority investor in the studio.
But DreamWorks' hefty price doesn't guarantee the same for others. Its film franchises, including "Shrek" and "Kung Fu Panda" are a part of its appeal. The ease of translating animated characters into theme-park rides, consumer products and digital content adds to its value.
Lions Gate is licensing "The Hunger Games" to theme parks, but a lack of other proven franchises may limit this strategy. For Paramount, with "Transformers," "Star Trek" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," underperformance of recent films suggests its franchises may be getting tired. The studio's forecast earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, in fiscal 2016 is less than half its run rate from fiscal 2010 through 2012, according to CLSA. Granted, it is rare that a major film studio like Paramount comes up for sale. That might lure investors from China, where Hollywood studios have become trophy properties.
Still, Comcast paid almost 35 times 2016 Ebitda for DreamWorks. Investors in other studios shouldn't expect a similar blockbuster.

NEW DELHI—The nose-dive in global commodity prices has had an unexpected repercussion in India: a giant new subsidy bill as New Delhi spends billions to mop up wheat, rice, sugar and cotton at government-fixed prices.
India guarantees minimum prices for certain crucial crops to protect its large population of poor farmers. When prices plunge, it has to buy more. It usually sells the commodities it collects at a loss—some to India's needy and some on global markets. Some of the stockpile just rots in government warehouses.
"This is a crisis of plenty," said Harish Galipelli a trader at Inditrade Derivatives and Commodities.
With wheat, sugar, rice and cotton prices down 15% to 30% in the last two years, the Indian government has been procuring record amounts of these commodities. India's annual crop subsidy bill has swollen to $16 billion, a record high and close to double what it was five years ago.
The extra billions being spent on subsidies are inflating the country's budget deficit, economists say, and draining the pool of funds available for other important programs for farmers, including road, power and irrigation networks, as well as education and health-care infrastructure.
"The government has to stop promising farmers that it will buy all the wheat and rice they grow at a guaranteed price," said Himanshu, an associate professor of economics at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University who uses only one name. "Only then can it focus on investment in the outdated infrastructure."
The market support also encourages farmers to produce much more of the subsidized commodities than they would have otherwise, exacerbating the global glut.
"Farm subsidies hurt an economy simply because they are a distortion," said Tim Worstall, senior fellow at London's Adam Smith Institute. "It is far better to have a no-subsidy economy."
The government's commodity price support also has the potential to hurt world markets. India has already been looking for ways to release more of its wheat and sugar surplus on the global markets in what some complain is a beggar-thy-neighbor move.
In the fall, New Delhi demanded that sugar refiners release at least four million tons of their sugar onto international markets by October 2016 to reduce the excess supply in the country. Releasing such an amount in bulk could depress prices, some traders predicted. To date, contracts have been signed to ship out 1.6 million tons.
Wheat-exporting countries such as Australia and the U.S. complain that New Delhi periodically dumps its wheat into international markets without warning.
India's subsidy policy has long been challenged by the World Trade Organization. The country's policy of subsidizing some commodities for food security has been a major area of contention between India and developed countries, primarily the U.S.
Of course, the commodities crash hasn't been all bad news for the world's second most populous nation after China. The South Asian nation subsidizes cooking gas and other fuel products, so a slide in global oil prices has saved it billions in spending on fuel subsidies.
But if the country's cotton, sugar, wheat and rice bill continues to climb as New Delhi waits for prices to rebound, India may be pressured to roll back some of its perks for poor farmers.
"The government needs to take action to reduce its overall subsidy bill to try to reduce the fiscal deficit," said Rajiv Biswas, an economist for research firm IHS, but doing so would be politically difficult.
Government officials say they have no plans to reduce the subsidies. In fact, in the face of global pressures to reduce them, New Delhi has consistently refused to budge. It even threatened to scuttle an important World Trade Organization agreement in 2014 unless it was given a guarantee that it could continue its subsidy and stockpiling programs.
"Subsidies are meant to encourage productivity and better farming practices," said Sudhir Singh, an official at India's agriculture ministry. "We are committed to our social-welfare programs."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has been signaling its plans to do even more to lift the country's farmers. In the national budget announced in February, it pledged to double farmers' incomes in the next five years. Political analysts say the ruling party is trying to stir up votes from rural areas as the country is headed into a string of state elections.
"The question of cutting back on the handouts does not arise," said an official at the Ministry of Agriculture. "We will not deviate from our duty of farm welfare."

DUBAI—Dubai developer Emaar Properties PJSC reported an 18% rise in first-quarter net profit on Sunday, buoyed by sales in the Dubai market as it shrugged off a slowdown in the emirate's real-estate sector.
Net profit in the three month-period that ended March 31 rose to $328 million from $279 million during the same period last year. First-quarter revenue climbed 17% to $961 million.
Emaar, developer of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's tallest building, attributed the profit increase to a jump in sales in its home market Dubai, which generates a large percentage of its revenue.
The developer sold a number of properties around the city's opera house, expected to open its doors later this year.
Emaar's surge in profit comes as analysts predict a further slowdown in Dubai's housing market because of the strong dollar, which has made buying property in the dollar-pegged country more expensive for overseas investors.
Low crude prices also have depressed investors' sentiment in the oil-dependent economies of the Persian Gulf.
Real-estate firm Cluttons said recently that housing prices in the first quarter fell by 2.2%, the seventh consecutive quarterly decline. Property consultancy JLL expects housing prices in Dubai to drop by an additional 10% this year.
Emaar also operates luxury hotels and malls. One of its flagship properties, the 63-story Address Downtown, went up in flames on New Year's Eve.
Emaar hasn't said what caused the fire but estimated repairs at 301 million U.A.E. dirhams, or $82 million. It said it is fully insured and could reclaim part or all of that amount.
The company also made headlines last month after announcing plans for a new tower a "notch" higher than the Burj Khalifa.

With U.S. stocks near record highs and memories of last summer's volatility still in mind, investors could be forgiven for wondering whether this is the year to "sell in May and go away."
Stocks have shaken off an early year rout, but a reading of first-quarter growth for the U.S. economy came in below expectations last week and corporate earnings have been lackluster, clouding the long-term outlook for stocks.
After falling 11% in about the first six weeks of the year, stocks have bounced back, but now at a slower pace. In the six weeks following a Feb. 11 trough, the S&P 500 climbed 11%. In the roughly five weeks after that, it rose 1.4%. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 are off roughly 3% from their highs set in May of last year.
There are many interpretations of the long-running trading adage, but the underlying recommendation remains the same: Stock investors should avoid a summer slump.
It worked last year. If an investor sold the S&P 500 on the Friday before Memorial Day and rebought the index the Tuesday after Labor Day, she would have avoided a 7.4% decline.
Otherwise, the benefits are a bit fuzzier. Stocks gained during the summers of 2012 and 2014. In 2011 and 2013, they fell.
It's a controversial strategy. Some investors ridicule the idea as no better than predictors tying stock-market behavior to the length of hemlines, butter production in Bangladesh and which National Football League conference wins the Super Bowl.
"Even if last year 'sell in May and go away' worked, this year could be a year that it doesn't. In the short term, you just don't know," said Marc Pfeffer, senior portfolio manager at CLS Investments, which manages about $6 billion.
Since 1970, the S&P 500 has gained 1% on average in the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to an analysis by Ana Avramovic, trading strategist at Credit Suisse. Stocks rose during 30 of those summers by an average of 5.6%. The declines were more painful, averaging 8% in the 15 years stocks declined between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Ms. Avramovic's analysis shows.
The summer will start off with some potentially market-moving events.
The next Federal Reserve meeting is scheduled for June. This past week the Fed held interest rates steady and gave little indication it plans to raise rates in the coming months. Investors will still be monitoring the meeting for any surprises even though expectations for a rate increase remain low. Later that month, the U.K. will vote in a referendum on whether to remain a member of the European Union.
July will bring another batch of quarterly corporate earnings, which are expected to again contract, according to FactSet. This past week negotiations between Greece and its international creditors ran into trouble, setting the stage for another summer showdown between the parties.
Jason Ware, chief investment officer for Albion Financial Group, which manages about $1 billion, said he understands the desire to sit out this summer's potential volatility. But trying to optimally move money in and out of the market during a short period is unwise, he said.
"You set yourself up for errors when you try to get really tactical," he said. If the market doesn't fall and instead rallies, that could make it tougher to time a re-entry to stocks.
During the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day, daily stock-trading volumes on the New York Stock Exchange tend to fall about 3.1% below yearly averages, according to data going back to 1996. Fewer shares changing hands means swings in the stock market can be sharper.
In 2011, there were 31 moves of at least 1% in either direction in the S&P 500 during the summer, a period that included rating firm Standard & Poor's Ratings Services' downgrade of the U.S. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, the index dropped 12%.
Ben Jacobsen, a finance professor at TIAS School for Business and Society in the Netherlands, said he makes it an annual routine to take a much longer trading hiatus based on his own research into seasonal market trends.
He and his colleagues found that world-wide, investors averaged 4.5% better returns between November and April than between May and Halloween. The so-called Halloween effect of improved seasonal performance persists in 82 of 109 stock markets studied.
In the U.K., where data goes back three centuries, investors who follow that strategy for five years have an 80% chance of beating the market, based on his historical analysis. Over 10 years, it becomes a 90% chance. His results exclude transaction costs and taxes.
He's been investing according to the strategy since the 1990s, and currently commits about half his portfolio, investing the other half in stocks held long-term. In the U.S., he keeps his money in low-volatility exchange-traded funds for the summer. In Europe, he goes to cash.
"It doesn't make you rich," he said. "But it makes you richer a little bit faster than other people."
Analysts at Northern Trust Asset Management found in a 2012 report titled called "Sell in May… and Pay!" that investors face significant downsides getting in and out of the market around the summer. Even if the time period is extended to include Halloween, U.S. capital-gains taxes alone erode the value of the approach, they found. Meanwhile, investors also face transaction fees, missed opportunities and confusion about when to buy back in.
"There's many reasons between now and November that could justify selling in May," said Bob Browne, chief investment officer at Northern Trust, which managed about $900 billion as of March 31.

The mobile-payments war is getting messy.
Far from the quick victory for Apple many expected when it entered the fray, the battle increasingly resembles a multifront conflict complete with overlapping agendas and shifting alliances.
When asked on his company's earnings call last week about Wal-Mart Stores's move to introduce its own mobile-payment services to customers, MasterCard CEO Ajay Banga summed up the situation: Retailers like Wal-Mart, he said, are "trying to find a way to offer a product and a wallet that their consumer can be connected to loyally."
"The banks, by the way, are doing the same thing," Mr. Banga added. "They're trying to make sure they offer products that get the consumer loyal to them and not just let the digital player own that space or the merchant own that space, and, of course, the digital players doing the same thing."
The result is a crowded, confused space. Wal-Mart's service will compete with the likes of Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal and J.P. Morgan Chase's Chase Pay. Wal-Mart itself never enabled the NFC technology needed to use Apply Pay.
So protracted conflict in the payments sector is likely.
This analysis could be taken one step further: Intense competition could drive down profitability for whoever remains standing. That is because it will, over time, push down pricing across the entire payments infrastructure.
Payment providers are competing with one another to offer a convenient experience to consumers. But they also need to lure in merchants, and to do that they will probably need to compete on price.
Some pricing pressure is visible already. At PayPal Holdings, which also reported results last week, the take rate, or the amount of revenue it collects on every purchase, has declined 0.16 percentage point a year since 2012, according to Sanford Bernstein. It is currently about 2.8%.
So far, that is mostly because PayPal is expanding to bigger merchants that demand lower fees. But the pressure on the sector could soon intensify.
If Apple, for instance, moves to establish Apple Pay as a payments-acceptance service used by merchants, it could undercut the fees charged to merchants. This is because it relies mainly on device sales for revenue. Chase Pay already is offering merchants lower fees than they pay on traditional card payments.
When the smoke clears, the ultimate victors of the payments war may find the spoils disappointing.

With technology stocks, great gains usually bring even greater expectations. But the inverse hasn't exactly proved to be true in the current earnings season, and that reflects a new way of thinking about growth among investors.
Tech stocks had largely underperformed the broader market coming into first-quarter earnings season. The three largest—Apple, Google parent Alphabet and Microsoft—have since issued reports that disappointed investors. The result: Each saw their respective market value fall by about 10%.
That has offset strong reports from the next two largest tech companies, Amazon.com and Facebook. The Nasdaq Composite Index is off 4.6% for the year, while the Dow industrials and S&P 500 are in positive territory.
If there is a read-across from these five different businesses, it is this: While investors may be broadly gravitating to yield-producing, haven bets in today's turbulent markets, tech investors still are hungry for growth. The catch is that these same investors no longer are interested in growth of any sort, or at any price. They want it to come with strong profits attached.
In their results, Amazon and Facebook managed to deliver eye-popping growth rates along with near-record profits. Their stocks are up 10% and 8%, respectively, since the reports.
The new motivation of many investors could make for a challenging earnings season ahead for smaller tech companies in which growth and earnings often are mutually exclusive terms.
But even for established, profitable firms, it is still a high bar to clear. Alphabet increased net revenue 18%, notable for such a large business, and generated operating income six times as large as that of Amazon's. But Alphabet's revenue was about 1% shy of Wall Street's targets and put pressure on the stock following a big run over the prior year.
Complicating matters, fat profits alone can't overcome growth worries. This is most evident at Apple, whose profit margins remain the envy of its peers.
But after 13 years of steady growth, Apple's revenue fell in the first quarter and is projected to do so again in the current period. The reason appears to be that many customers are electing to skip an upgrade to this year's iPhone 6s.
That has trimmed about $60 billion in market value from the world's most valuable public company. Apple's stock is down about 10% since its earnings report, reaching a 52-week low.
Expectations have arguably come down. Apple now trades at less than eight times forward earnings, excluding net cash. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite is just under 20 times forward earnings now. That is a 14% reduction from the broad market's five-year peak multiple reached in December.
But reduced valuations may not curb the appetite among tech investors for both growth and profits. Companies that fail to produce both may find themselves like Apple, awaiting the market's next painful bite.

SYDNEY—The price of iron ore for decades was hammered out in secret talks between the world's biggest miners and steelmakers.
Now, the dominant force is an obscure commodities market in northeastern China, a stark example of how pricing power for everything from steel to copper is shifting east.
The change has been driven by Chinese investors who have poured billions of dollars into iron-ore futures traded on the Dalian Commodity Exchange. Their bets, reminiscent of last year's frenzy in Chinese stocks, have generated as much dollar volume as gold futures in New York, according to data from Citigroup Inc. They also have created something that had never existed before in the clubby market for iron ore: visible, real-time prices.
Those prices are surging. Despite an expected glut of iron ore in 2016, Dalian iron-ore futures have climbed 46% since the start of the year. Prices for physical iron ore have risen 52%, reaching a 15-month high of $68.70 a metric ton April 21. On Friday, the physical commodity traded at $65.20 a ton, while the most active contract on the Dalian exchange settled at 462 yuan ($70.36) a ton.
The price climb has sparked concern among Chinese regulators and iron-ore producers alike. They fear the speculative frenzy is creating a bubble and volatile conditions that make hedging difficult. Even so, the magnitude of the futures market is proving hard to ignore.
"The volumes that are being traded are so high that they swamp the physical market and are going to be a massive influence on it from now on," said Nev Power, chief executive of Australia's Fortescue Metals Group Ltd., the world's No. 4 exporter of iron ore. "The negative side is the volatility we have seen: It makes it very difficult to predict what the price is going to be going forward."
About $330 billion of iron-ore futures traded in Dalian in April, more than double the monthly turnover as recently as February and roughly four times the amount spent trading physical iron ore internationally in a year.
The rise in iron-ore prices has underpinned higher steel prices around the world. In the U.S., the benchmark hot-rolled coil index is up 37% this year, to $520 a ton.
In a bid to cool trading in recent days, the Dalian exchange has raised transaction costs and the amount of margin, or deposit, investors must post to trade. Iron-ore futures fell 5.4% Wednesday after declining by the 6% daily trading limit Tuesday. The previous week, futures rose 5.9% on two consecutive days.
On Thursday, the exchange said it banned 13 investors from opening positions temporarily and warned more than 200 clients who violated trading rules.
"All of this growth poses multiple dangers to global commodity pricing stability given how less regulated and therefore less protective the Chinese regimes are for investors, who are perhaps the most speculative in the world,"Citigroup analysts said this past week.
Iron ore was long a desert for investors. The market was dominated by a handful of producers, including BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, that, until 2010, sold ore directly to steel mills on one-year contracts. Those prices were thrashed out behind closed doors in annual negotiations that set the tone for the rest of the market.
As China's appetite surged, and steelmakers needed more ore than the biggest producers could provide, that system broke down. Companies started compiling spot prices from surveys of physical cargoes being traded around the world. Eventually, an iron-ore futures market followed.
Iron-ore futures have been traded in Singapore since 2009. While volumes there have also increased recently, they are dwarfed by the contracts changing hands in Dalian.
The rush into China's commodity markets is shaping up as this year's version of the 2015 frenzy that sent stock markets in Shanghai and Shenzhen soaring. The binge isn't confined to iron ore. Trading in futures for steel rebar used in construction has ballooned on the Shanghai Futures Exchange this year, making it the third most-traded contract in the world by dollar volume, behind benchmark New York and London oil futures. Shanghai-traded copper has also been propelled into the top 10, as investors use the metal as a proxy for China's growth.
There have been similar spikes in markets for agricultural commodities, including corn and eggs, which are traded in Dalian.
Linda Tao, a Shanghai-based trader, is among those who have turned to commodities markets and away from stocks and stock-index futures. Her private-equity firm, which manages over 2 billion yuan ($309 million), delved into iron ore late last year.
"It's certainly very nerve-racking to watch the evening markets, since we are not sure when a big swing will hit," said Ms. Tao, who these days takes turns with her colleagues to monitor iron-ore trading late at night. The market is closed to foreigners.
Some investors have been attracted by the relatively low cost of trading commodities futures. Brokers require initial deposits of less than 10% of the value of the futures investors want to trade, compared with a 50% deposit for stock-index futures.
China is the world's leading consumer of metals from copper to aluminum. The country buys more than two-thirds of all physical iron ore traded internationally, so the signals it sends about demand are closely watched.
Occasional iron-ore price spikes this year testify to the increasing influence of the Dalian futures contract. On March 7, the physical price of iron ore rose 20%, its biggest one-day move ever, according to data provider the Steel Index. That followed an early-morning surge in Dalian, where a huge wave of trading pushed prices up 4.9%, the daily trading limit at that time.
Market watchers said one of the reasons Chinese iron-ore futures are gaining clout is that traders in the physical market can watch them in real time, in contrast with the once-a-day price for physical iron ore, which is published about 6:30 p.m. China time based on an average of physical trades.
"One of the biggest reasons for its influence is because it's so visible on a high-frequency basis," said Ivan Szpakowski, who runs North Carolina-based hedge fund Academia Capital.
While demand and supply in the 1.4-billion-ton annual seaborne iron-ore market were roughly in balance last year, Morgan Stanley reckons it will be oversupplied by roughly 60 million tons this year, swelling to 90 million tons in 2017, as mining companies keep production high.
Fortescue's Mr. Power said he isn't convinced ore prices will remain at current levels for long. "It is very much a function of trading on the futures market," he said. "But we are enjoying the price while we can."

Italy's newly created backstop fund for banks, Atlante, is set to buy a stake of around 92% in Banca Popolare di Vicenza SpA after investors shunned the troubled lender's cash call, but could end up owning roughly the total of Vicenza's capital.
The bank said in a statement late on Saturday that investors placed orders for only 7.7% of the €1.5 billion ($1.72 billion) of new shares the bank put up for sale in an initial public offering imposed by the European Central Bank, which found Vicenza short of regulatory capital last year.
Atlante pledged to buy Vicenza's unsold shares, replacing UniCredit SpA, which was the initial underwriter of the transaction.
The fund, which has a total war-chest of €4.25 billion, is meant to back capital increases at Italian banks imposed by regulators by buying all shares that remain unsold.
It also plans to buy bad loans from Italian banks at higher prices than normally offered by investors in a bid to kick-start a market for these assets and help lenders get rid of soured loans.
At this stage, Vicenza may not have enough free-float capital to receive clearance from Italy's stock exchange to start listing next week.
According to the Italian bourse rules, a company needs to have at least 25% in free-float capital to be given a green light to list, but the exchange can make exceptions. Vicenza planned to start listing next week.
If Vicenza doesn't obtain authorization from the stock exchange to list, the orders placed by investors will be invalid and Atlante will underwrite the whole €1.5 billion rights issue, Vicenza said, ending up owning 99.3% of the bank's capital.
A person familiar with the matter said Mediobanca SpA, which is part of the pool of banks coordinating the sale, placed orders for around 5% of the shares. Mediobanca declined to comment.
On Monday, the Italian exchange is set to decide if there is enough free- float for the bank to start listing.

Warren Buffett offered his assessment of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., calling the troubled drug company's business model "enormously flawed."
The Berkshire Hathaway Inc. chief executive was responding during the company's annual meeting Saturday to a shareholder question about a mutual fund he has ties to that made a large bet on Valeant.
Mr. Buffett reminded the audience that he was in a way "the father" of the fund, called Sequoia Fund Inc., having directed many of his early investors to Ruane, Cunniff & Goldfarb Inc. when he shut down his investment partnerships beginning in 1969. Ruane Cunniff set up Sequoia in 1970.
Valeant has recently attracted the ire of regulators and politicians, in part because of its habit of acquiring drugmakers and then aggressively raising the prices of medicines. A onetime Wall Street darling, Valeant's stock is down more than 85% since August.
On Friday, the Canadian drug company filed its long-delayed annual report and disclosed new and broadened regulatory investigations. It is being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Valeant is changing the makeup of its board as it looks to restore credibility in the pharmaceutical industry and among customers, politicians and investors. Valeant officials have also pledged to change the company's pricing strategy on drugs.
The Valeant question was just one of dozens of questions that Mr. Buffett and Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger answered during several hours of questions from shareholders, a panel of analysts and one of journalists. The Q&A has been an annual tradition that tens of thousands of Berkshire shareholders come to Omaha for every spring.
With Berkshire streaming the event live over the Web for the first time, some shareholders decided not to make the trip, but Mr. Buffett estimated during a television interview that nearly 40,000 people would turn up.
This year, the questions ranged from the performance of Berkshire subsidiaries such as its BNSF railroad, auto insurer Geico, utility Berkshire Hathaway Energy and its latest acquisition, industrial components maker Precision Castparts Corp. Meeting attendees also sought Mr. Buffett's views on investment banking, shareholder activism, the impact of negative interest rates on Berkshire and Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.
Mr. Buffett, 85 years old, drank his favorite drink, Cherry Coke, and snacked on peanut brittle from See's Candies, a Berkshire subsidiary, as he sat with Mr. Munger, 92, on a stage, both men dressed nearly identically in black suits, white shirts and patterned red ties.
Mr. Munger last year weighed in on Valeant, calling its price-hiking practices "deeply immoral." A Senate committee has been investigating the strategy used by Valeant and other firms of buying drugs and significantly raising prices, including for certain cardiac-care drugs.
Mr. Munger's comments prompted Bill Ackman, a hedge-fund manager whose fund Pershing Square Capital Management LP is one of Valeant's biggest investors, to attack Berkshire's ownership of Coca-Cola Co., arguing that the sugary beverages the company sells have "probably done more to create obesity and diabetes…than any other company in the world."
Berkshire owns 9% of Coke and regularly gets questions from shareholders, including this year, about his love of candy, fizzy drinks and burgers, and the health hazards of sugar and processed foods.
Privately, Mr. Ackman had reached out to Messrs. Buffett and Munger before the dust-up, The Wall Street Journal has reported, trying to get Mr. Munger to meet with outgoing Valeant CEO Michael Pearson in an attempt to change Mr. Munger's opinion of Valeant.
Mr. Buffett said on Saturday that Valeant "was touted to us" by intermediaries, without naming names.
He said Sequoia's long-term track record is still among the best in the mutual-fund business, despite its recent struggles.
Sequoia investors have pulled nearly $800 million from the fund this year, according to research firm Morningstar Inc., as Valeant's stock continued to plummet and Sequoia's lead manager stepped down. As of this week, the fund had $5.3 billion in assets under management. Sequoia said in a filing Friday that it would reopen to new investors, after closing in 2013.
Last year, Sharon Osberg, an independent director of Sequoia and a close friend and bridge partner of Mr. Buffett's, along with another director, resigned from the board after raising questions about whether the fund should have such a large position in Valeant.
Mr. Buffett said the "unusually large position" Sequoia took in Valeant was the result of the fund becoming "very entranced with the business model" of the pharmaceutical company.
He said he advised people privately to stay with the fund and with Ruane Cunniff, saying that the people who remain there are "very smart, decent people."
Mr. Buffett said Valeant's troubles illustrate a principle passed on to him by a friend: "If you're looking for a manager, find someone who is intelligent, energetic and has integrity. If he doesn't have the last, make sure he lacks the first two."
Mr. Munger added that Sequoia, as reconstituted, is a reputable investment fund. "Valeant, of course, was a sewer," he went on. "Those who created it deserve all the opprobrium that they got."

(For what it's worth, we were seven for seven.)
An investor from the floor asks for an explanation of IBM's "moat," or its competitive advantage.
Mr. Buffett really punts the question: "I don't think we want to get into an investment analysis of any of the portfolio companies that we own."
Not long ago, Mr. Buffett told CNBC that the investment in IBM could turn out to be a mistake.
Asked about the US. real estate market, Mr. Buffett says it's not as attractive as it was in 2012. Still, "I do not see a nationwide bubble in residential real estate now–at all," he says.
And he says that "the next time around," presumably meaning the next time there's a crisis, he doubts housing will be to blame.
The afternoon session has yielded less news, so as this discussion about CDS meaners on, we'll just note here that the discussion of how to structure compensation was in line with past comments from Mr. Buffett. He's frequently warning about creating bad incentives.
Mr. Buffett and Mr. Munger are grappling with a question from the floor about whether the price of oil should influence the actions of the Fed,
Mr. Buffett says that lower oil prices generally should be good for the U.S. economy, since the country is a net importer of crude. Oil is a big part of our economy, he says, but the economy overall has continued to make progress even as oil has declined.
There's a question from the analyst panel about American Express, and whether Berkshire should re-evaluate its thesis for owning the stock (it's owned it for decades).
Mr. Buffett acknowledges that AmEx's position has been under attack, and that it's too attractive a business not to be under attack. But that even if it's slightly less attractive than it used to be, it's still a good business to own.
But he says he and Mr. Munger constantly re-asses their investments. Evaluating threats to businesses is a tough game, he said.
Latest question, via Carol Loomis, is about the business model of Brazilian private-equity firm 3G Capital Partners LP, and how its approach to running its operations compares to Berkshire's.
At last year's annual meeting, some Berkshire shareholders let it be known in no uncertain terms that they weren't too thrilled with Mr. Buffett's multiple deals with 3G in recent years, including the creation of the combined Kraft Heinz Co. Berkshire is seen by many as a benevolent owner of companies, averse to layoffs. 3G, meanwhile, has a well-deserved reputation for ruthless cost-cutting. It's certainly doing that at Kraft and Heinz, where Berkshire owns more than 25% of the stock.
Mr. Buffett has lauded 3G and its leaders, saying the cuts they make are necessary. That continued today: "The 3G, in terms of the cost cuts that they've made, have been extremely intelligent about it."
He says that in the package good industry, a reference to Kraft Heinz, "volume trends are not good." He's on the lookout that their cuts have caused any harm to the underlying business: "I've seen none."
In all, this discussion was far less heated than last year.
A question from the floor is about why Berkshire doesn't have a AAA credit rating from the ratings agencies.
Mr. Munger jumps on this on: "The rating agencies are wrong."
There's a question from Andrew Ross Sorkin on the journalist panel, who asks about Berkshire's approach to dealmaking. Mr. Buffett and Mr. Munger famously eschew much of the due diligence that other companies do before acquiring a company.
Mr. Buffett answers that they've made "plenty" of mistakes, but those involved an improper assessment of the future of the company and the basic economics of the industry. It wasn't a bad lease a bad labor contract or something else that would have been uncovered in a deeper dive, he says, adding later that he's fine with losing on "small points" in the negotiation.
We've made "at least a half dozen mistakes" and probably a lot more if they count ones that they didn't do, Mr. Buffett says. But those were of the economic variety.
Mr. Munger says the quality of the management that is going to stay on at the company (as they often do when Berkshire acquires a company) is what matters most. And he says Berkshire is excellent at that.
Unless I missed it, they didn't answer part of the question, which is how Berkshire should change its approach after they've left the scene.

The last few questions have gotten Mr. Buffett and Mr. Munger on one of their go-to topics: the idea that one way to succeed is to avoid destructive behavior, and avoiding doing stupid things.
And Mr. Buffett worked in a reference to one of his mentors, Benjamin Graham. You can read about the books that Mr. Buffett recommends, including the one by Mr. Graham, at this post.
