Commodity price trend assessment
A focused written view of near-term price direction for a named commodity, grounded in supply, demand, stocks, and curve structure.
Assessment detailsLondon · Commodity markets
Price trend assessment for metals, energy, grains, and soft commodities — written for the desks that buy, sell, and hedge them.
We examine how a commodity’s price has moved, what is driving the current range, and whether the balance of supply, demand, and inventory points toward a firmer, softer, or range-bound path over the horizon you care about — typically four to twelve weeks.
Each engagement ends in a written brief and a structured call — not a software login.

Assessment detailsA half-day working session on price drivers across a commodity complex — useful before budgeting rounds or seasonal buying.
Assessment detailsA structured review of how your recent purchase prices sit against market references — and what that implies for the next cover window.
Assessment detailsOur practice sits in the City of London, close to the desks and trade houses that still live by physical markets. We read exchange curves, warehouse stocks, crop reports, freight, and seasonal consumption — then translate that into a clear view of price direction for a named commodity and horizon.
Our practiceThe copper brief arrived three days before our quarterly hedge window. The inventory read was sharper than our internal note — though I would have liked a longer look at Chinese scrap flows.

We commission the softs outlook before each roasting season. It does not replace our blender’s judgement; it gives the buying team a shared language for when to hold and when to cover.
