Hidden Data, Hidden Edge: Alternative Signals Every Commodity Trader Should Track
Commodity markets have become faster, more complex, and increasingly shaped by data. Yet, much of the industry still relies on traditional indicators — such as futures prices, government reports, and inventory statistics — signals that remain essential, but are rarely enough to create an early edge. As information cycles accelerate and margins tighten, traders who depend solely on these sources often react to the market instead of anticipating it.
At the same time, a new layer of alternative signals has emerged. High-resolution satellite imagery, vessel-tracking anomalies, advanced climate models, digital demand footprints, and ESG-driven constraints are revealing patterns that traditional datasets only capture later. This eBook examines how these signals function, their significance, and their impact on reshaping decision-making for teams operating in rapidly evolving physical markets.
