Summary: Vesper has launched Technical Analysis, a new forward-looking capability that translates complex market behavior into clear, actionable timing signals. Previously reserved for trading experts using specialized tools, technical analysis is now accessible to every procurement professional through simple, visual indicators. This feature helps teams identify optimal buying windows by analyzing price patterns and momentum, delivering straightforward signals that answer the critical question: "When should I act?"—no financial expertise required.
What's New:
Three procurement-focused indicators that signal market timing without financial jargon
Moving Averages show if prices are trending above or below "normal" levels
MACD detects when price movements are accelerating or losing steam
RSI identifies when markets are overheated or oversold, highlighting potential reversals
Clean visual signals (green/red arrows + Interpreted text) that make complex analysis instantly understandable
Why It Matters: Fundamental data tells you why prices should move, but not when the market will react. Technical Analysis bridges this gap by revealing when markets start believing the fundamental story. In volatile markets where timing can mean the difference between saving and losing on purchases in volatile markets. These indicators help procurement teams spot early trend changes, identify optimal entry points, and avoid buying at market extremes, without requiring trading expertise.
How to Use It:
Add Technical Analysis to any dashboard by using the search function
View the summary panel showing all three indicators at a glance
Green arrows indicate upward pressure/momentum, red indicates downward
Click the extended view for in depth analysis of the indicators
Combine with Vesper's other forward-looking tools for complete forward looking intelligence
Related Features: Technical Analysis completes Vesper's forward-looking toolkit:
AI Forecasting predicts where prices are headed (the "how much")
Dashboard fundamentals explain market drivers (the "why")
Market reports provide expert context

Summary: Vesper has launched Cost Models, a powerful new feature that transforms individual commodity benchmarks into complete product cost insights. This capability allows food manufacturers to combine weighted commodity benchmarks with standardized non-ingredient costs to build accurate product pricing models, delivering unprecedented visibility into true product economics.
What's New:
Build complete product cost models by combining multiple commodity benchmarks with precise weightings
Access industry-standard non-ingredient costs (labor, manufacturing, overhead) specific to your region
Choose from our template library for common food products or create custom models
Track how each component contributes to your total product cost with automatic updates whenever source prices change
Why It Matters: With record-high volatility across food commodities, understanding how ingredient changes impact finished products is critical for maintaining margins. Cost Models provide complete cost structure visibility for your entire organization: procurement teams can verify supplier price increases, finance can track margin impacts across product portfolios, and sales teams can justify price adjustments to customers with independently verified data. Non-ingredient costs can represent up to 47% of total product costs—a critical component that's now visible alongside your commodity benchmarks.
How to Use It:
Access Cost Models through the main dashboard menu
Choose between starting with a template or building a model from scratch
Select ingredients from your available commodities and assign precise weightings
Add country-specific non-ingredient costs by selecting your industry and location
Save your model to track cost evolution over time as prices update automatically
Related Features: Cost Models integrates seamlessly with Vesper's existing capabilities:
Individual commodity price benchmarks (VPI, Partner prices, and Public benchmarks found in prices widgets)
Incorporate into your own custom dashboards

Enhanced S&D Map visualization now provides Year-to-Date (YTD) comparisons across regions, enabling instant visual insights into global production, import/export, and stock trends and regional shifts.
Why it Matters:"If I were interested to see where growth in EU milk production is happening, this would really quickly show me that it is not happening in Ireland, Netherlands or France. It's great for presentations, as not having to click through all countries at the same time makes it ideal for regions or groups of countries."
Jasper Endlich, Dairy Market Analyst
How to Use It:
Find the World Map Widget in the S&D category
Select your metric and timeframe of interest
Compare countries and spot regional trends through color coding
