Through this partnership we will be able to supply Barchart.com users with accurate news and information for this increasingly important market segment. We are excited to partner with FreightWaves, and provide the SONAR platform with our diverse database of global economic and commodity data - all of which can be visualized, and charted within SONAR."

"FreightWaves is committed to building a world-class community in freight that uses news, data, and technology to understand and de-risk the market.
