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:

1. Add Technical Analysis to any dashboard by using the search function

2. View the summary panel showing all three indicators at a glance

3. Green arrows indicate upward pressure/momentum, red indicates downward

4. Click the extended view for in depth analysis of the indicators

5. 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

• Now Technical Analysis reveals entry point (the "when")

Summary: Vesper has enhanced dashboard customization with the ability to set unique currency and unit preferences for each individual widget. This highly requested feature allows users to display multiple markets with different measurement standards side by side in their most relevant formats.

What's New:

• Individual currency and unit settings for each widget

• Widget-specific customization that persists independently of general settings

Why It Matters: Markets operate with different standards across regions and commodities. This enhancement eliminates the need to constantly toggle between general unit settings when analyzing diverse markets simultaneously. Users can now create truly customized multi-market dashboards that present each data series in its most relevant format.

How to Use It:

1. Click the currency switcher in the top right of any widget

2. Select your preferred currency and units for that specific widget

3. Use the three dot widget menu to duplicate widgets as needed to select price sources in different currencies in the same dashboard

4. Note that the general unit selector still functions but won't override your customized widgets

• Custom dashboard creation

• Analytical toolbox for cross-commodity comparison

• One-click correlations checks

• Exportable charts for reporting
