October brought the new Forecast: one clear price outlook per quarter, with the arguments behind it. You can now import a whole folder of price files at once, follow cost models on your Homefeed, and ask Commodity Copilot about a product with its related markets in view. On the data side, 1,464 new prices landed across 18 commodities and 39 countries.
What shipped:
- The new Forecast (Premium and Pro). Click a price on your Homefeed to open its Forecast. It shows the key arguments: the strongest bull and bear points from fundamentals, technicals and our market reports, each linked to its source. Next to them sits the AI forecast, from Vesper’s own models built on data alone, with its accuracy clearly visible. The Forecast indicator takes both into account and gives one clear price outlook per quarter. Read the Forecast note.
- Import many price files at once (Pro). Drop CSV, TXT or XLSX files into Your data in one go. Vesper matches each file to the prices you already have, so nothing is duplicated, and flags the rows that need a second look. Read the import note.
- Cost models on your Homefeed. Follow a cost model on the Your prices card next to your commodities, and sort each card alphabetically or drag products into your own order. Read the Homefeed note.
- Commodity Copilot knows how products relate (Pro). Ask about one product and Copilot brings in its inputs, competing products and the countries that matter, and charts them. Sources now sit in one dropdown, split into news, market analysis and data. Read the Copilot note.
- Reported deals in the Marketplace. Every Marketplace user now sees the deals reported in the last 30 days, one column per delivery month, each checked by our team before it appears. You can report your own deal from the same board.
- Also new: drag a tooltip anywhere on a chart (read the note), Copilot reuses the prices from your saved cost models when it builds a new one, viewers can remove a dashboard shared with them, the navigation has a cleaner look, and NoBullAg’s weekly US market report covers oils and grains.
Data added:
