Forecasting & Outlook

Whats New? Vesper is extending our AI-powered forecasting horizon from 6 to 12 months for select dairy, sugar, and oils commodities with established price histories (5+ years of data). This extended visibility enables procurement teams to move beyond tactical buying decisions to support annual budgeting and strategic planning.

Why it matters? Together with expert human analyst outlooks and comprehensive coverage of S&D/Fundamentals, the forecast powered by AI technology gives a comprehensive outlook on future market movements. The extended 12-month horizon allows users to incorporate forecasting into their decision making on more strategic timeframes.

As always, forecasting accuracy is transparently available on the platform for each individual product, allowing users to assess performance and incorporate it into decision-making.

How to Use It:

  1. Access the forecast widgets directly on your custom dashboards (add through the search tool if needed)

  2. If a product has a 12-Month forecast horizon, it will automatically be visible on your screen

  3. Check forecast performance by choosing the 12-Month option in the accuracy dropdown

More products will be added to the extended range in the course of Q2

Related Features: This extended forecasting complements our existing forward-looking toolkit:

  • Forward pricing up to 16 months ahead in the Forward Pricing widgets

Supply and Demand Map Improvements

by Vesper Team
Improvement
Data

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:

  1. Find the World Map Widget in the S&D category

  2. Select your metric and timeframe of interest

  3. Compare countries and spot regional trends through color coding

  4. Export directly into presentations or add to your custom dashboards

Country-Specific Sugar Vesper Price Index

by Vesper Team
New
Data
Vesper Price Index (VPI)
Sugar & Sweeteners
Chocolate, Confectionery & Ice Cream

Expanded sugar price coverage with new country-specific Vesper Price Indices for Germany, Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, complementing our regional EU benchmarks. All benchmarks are updated weekly and remain DAP (Delivered at Place) derived from actual market participants aiding price discovery.

Why it Matters: National sugar markets have distinct dynamics driven by local production, trade flows, and supply-demand factors. While regional benchmarks provide essential context, country-level visibility enables more precise procurement strategies, especially in deficit markets like Spain that rely heavily on imports.

What's New:

  • Weekly white sugar benchmarks (ICUMSA 45) for:

    • Germany

    • Netherlands

    • Poland

    • Spain

  • Delivery basis: DAP (Delivered at Place)

  • Weekly updates every Wednesday
