Use forward pricing to get fair prices, customize contracts, and stabilize your business against future price fluctuations.
Let's get started
Our forward prices are based on average inputs from multiple brokers and updated up to 6 times daily, enabling benchmarking against actual market transactions.
Vesper provides forward prices with delivery options up to 15 months in advance, offering the flexibility of monthly pricing or the stability of quarterly or bimonthly "run" pricing.
Gain insight into how positions have changed over time by accessing historical prices for specific positions. Additionally, analyze forward curves to better understand overall market behavior.
Lock in physical deliveries at agreed-upon prices, helping you secure fair prices. By locking in a price today for future delivery, forward pricing ensures predictable costs for buyers and guaranteed revenue for sellers, even months or years in advance, ensuring stability in physical transactions​.
Forward prices complement spot prices by offering a longer-term perspective, incorporating market expectations and reducing the impact of temporary supply and demand imbalances.
Gain a clearer understanding of potential future price movements with forward pricing, which incorporates factors like energy costs, logistics, and supply chain disruptions.
Our forward pricing complements Vesper’s AI-driven price forecasts, offering a long-term view of future market expectations, whether in Contango (future prices higher than current) or Backwardation (future prices lower than current)—and helping participants make informed decisions on pricing strategies and risk management.

Forward contracts offer the flexibility to tailor agreements to your specific requirements. Buyers and sellers can negotiate terms like price, quantity, delivery location, and product specifications, ensuring the contract fits their needs. Choose from multiple trade terms like FOB, CIF, EXW, and DAP.
This customization provides a significant advantage, allowing for adaptability to factors like EUDR, sustainability, or legislative changes.
By locking in forward prices, both buyers and sellers can better manage their cash flow and control costs. Buyers can predict future expenses more accurately, while sellers secure future revenue, allowing for improved budgeting and operational planning.
This predictability reduces financial uncertainty, enhances cost management, and helps businesses allocate resources more effectively.
