Understanding Vesper's data
Know where the numbers come from. Vesper combines public sources, exchange data, partner networks, and proprietary benchmarks into one reliable database — a single endpoint for commodity professionals.
Pricing data sources
Four types of data feed into Vesper’s pricing layer. Each serves a different purpose — from broad market coverage to specification-level benchmarks for products no one else tracks.
Public data
Government and industry benchmarks from official sources. We aggregate these so you don’t have to check ten different websites.
Exchange & premium data
Futures exchanges and premium price reporting agencies. Professional-grade feeds accessible through Vesper without separate subscriptions.
Partner data
Data from our partner network. If you’re already a customer of these providers, view their data directly in Vesper.
Vesper Price Index (VPI)
Benchmarks we create by collecting transaction data and firm quotes directly from market participants. For products where public sources don’t exist or lack reliability.
Index-based contracts
Reliable benchmarks reduce negotiation cycles. Instead of renegotiating weekly, tie contracts to a published reference. For products without established benchmarks, VPI creates the reference that makes formula-based pricing possible.
Vesper intelligence layer
12-month forward price views for 4,000+ products. See where markets are heading.
Recipe-level cost modeling with forecast capability. Know what your products will cost.
Analyst commentary on market drivers and outlook. Context behind the numbers.
Chat with your on-demand AI market analyst, with sources you can trust and trace.
Market fundamentals
Prices don’t move in isolation. Weather disrupts harvests. Trade policy shifts flows. Production data signals supply changes. Understanding why markets move matters as much as knowing where they are.
We’ve gathered massive datasets and made them accessible through visualizations that show the full supply and demand picture — so you can see what’s driving the market, not just react to it.
