FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of calculations does Vesper offer?
Vesper offers a range of industry-specific calculations including derivative pricing, valorization (e.g., dairy and cocoa crush margins), refinery cost models, import/export parity calculations, and forward-price models. Each calculation is pre-built with the relevant formula and automatically updated with current commodity prices and production costs.
How often are the inputs in Vesper's calculations updated?
Inputs are updated continuously. Open-source prices are pulled as soon as official sources publish. Partner prices are refreshed throughout the day. Production cost inputs use the same cadence as the underlying price series they reference. You always see a calculation based on current market data, not last week's numbers.
Can I customize the formulas in Vesper's calculations?
Vesper's calculations are preset with industry-standard formulas, but you can adjust certain inputs, such as specific incoterms, processing cost assumptions, or regional parameters, to reflect your operations. For custom model development, the Vesper team can work with you directly.
How do calculations help with market forecasting?
Calculations reveal the economic signals that drive producer behavior. For example, when valorization calculations show high crush margins, producers are incentivized to increase production of that product, which typically leads to supply increases over the following weeks. Watching these signals lets you anticipate fundamental shifts before they appear in the price.
Can I export the results of Vesper's calculations?
Yes. Calculation outputs can be downloaded as CSV or XLSX, shared as a report link, or accessed programmatically via the Vesper API. You can also build dashboards that include live calculation outputs alongside your other tracked prices.
