Likely the Moon or Mars will be where we do a lot of bulk commodities, since the Delta-V to get the goods off of them will be lower. Then you'll have raw resource extraction in the asteroids and other very light moons. Earth will remain as the furnished goods and services location due to labor availability.
A classic triangle trade ala the sugar, rum, and slave markets in the North Atlantic in the 17-1800s.
