Fundamental context.
Quantitative discipline. Human judgment.

01 / From information to interpretation

More than a stream of headlines.

A digest is the interface. The work happens in how each development is classified, weighted and interpreted for your contract.

  1. 01

    Find local evidence

    Follow origin-country reporting on weather, crops, policy, demand and logistics, without waiting for an English rewrite.

  2. 02

    Identify the driver

    Classify and score the event for its benchmark. Chicago wheat retains original-language headlines and excerpts; other desks include translated reporting. Group related reporting so repetition has less influence.

  3. 03

    Add market evidence

    Assess economic topics with historical news and contract-price research. Keep news pressure and the separate price-informed view distinct.

  4. 04

    Challenge your thesis

    Spot a catalyst, check the source and assess what may already be priced in. Bring the evidence into your own decision process.

02 / Topic research & backtesting

Fundamentals, with a quantitative filter.

Topics earn attention through research, not headline volume alone.

Each desk starts with economic drivers: supply, demand, policy and the conditions that connect them. Historical news and contract prices help assess those topics using information coefficient (IC)—a measure of statistical association with price changes.

What does the historical testing establish?

For sugar, coffee and cocoa, the historical screen helps retain or emphasize price-relevant topics. Selection touched the evaluation window: this is a price-validated topic taxonomy, not an independent out-of-sample performance record or a backtested strategy with proven returns. It does not establish next-day return forecasts.

Corn and soybean topics have been mapped against historical news with exploratory price associations. These do not yet establish predictive significance or validated trading signals. Chicago wheat uses news scoring; its topics are not presented as validated trading drivers. Every desk keeps news pressure distinct from any separate price signal.

Candidate topicsContract-price screening Information coefficientRetained topic taxonomy

The research boundary matters. Selection used the evaluation window. Topic validation is not proof of trading returns.

1.5M+ indexed articles across the five established research archives. Wheat archive counts are reported separately in News Coverage. Coverage scale is not a measure of predictive accuracy.

03 / The fundamental part

The same headline can mean different things.

The selected contract, product and producing region shape the interpretation.

What the desk watches

  • Brazil cane crush & ethanol mix
  • UNICA production reports
  • Import policy & export quotas

Interpret for ICE No. 11

An import opening can ease domestic Indian prices while adding demand for globally traded raw sugar. The benchmark changes the interpretation.

Illustrative interpretation, not a trade instruction.

04 / Read the evidence, not just the number

Know what you are looking at.

A clear view of the scores, the safeguards and their limits.

How to read the scores
0–100

Relevance

Estimated price-impact magnitude for the selected contract and retained topic; not confidence or probability.

−1 to +1

News intensity

Signed pressure in [-1, +1]. Positive means upward price pressure; negative means downward price pressure.

Separate lens

Price signal

A separate price-informed lens based on selected news topics and continuous-front-month daily closes. It is not a return forecast, trade instruction, or official ICE settlement.

The existing desks combine relevance-weighted intensity with expert-defined origin weights, which are tuning seeds rather than statistically fitted parameters. Chicago wheat uses automated classifiers for relevance, topics and news pressure; its summary is assembled from scores and report counts. Wheat headlines and excerpts retain their original language without generated translations or narrative summaries. News pressure is distinct from a price signal or return forecast.

Quality controls shaped by desk feedback

One article, one source trail

URL-based identity helps keep a headline, summary and original source together when upstream IDs are reused. Source links let the desk inspect the evidence.

Readable across languages

Translation checks and repair help catch untranslated or mixed-language headlines. Targeted relevance filters reduce cosmetics and other ingredient-word noise. Neither check is exhaustive.

A new timestamp is not a new event

Original publication dates and reporting periods are retained. Freshness checks target recycled figures while allowing current reports to make historical comparisons.

Price is not production

Summaries keep prices, output, inventories, demand and logistics distinct, with their product, place, units and period. Source-grounding checks target unsupported causal and producer-specific additions.

News can disagree with the market

Checks reduce the influence of contradictory price recaps while retaining genuine forward-looking fundamentals. Overview price wording uses the last completed daily close, separately from news pressure.

A synthesis you can interrogate

Editorial overviews bring themes and named sources together. Retries and fallback checks reduce mechanical joins and incomplete text. Automated safeguards still need the reader’s judgment.

These are targeted safeguards, not a guarantee of error-free output. Freshness parsing is heuristic; translation repair is best effort; grouping is not perfect. Current daily figures are provisional. Genuine fundamental pressure can differ from the price tape.

Timing, delivery and market-price context

Scheduled every 15 minutes

Publication depends on available contracted feeds, successful processing and publication checks. Scheduled checks do not guarantee uninterrupted service or new content. A day without published reports has no news sentiment.

Scheduled prior-day finalisation: Sugar 06:00, Cocoa 06:15, Coffee 06:30 UTC. The current day may update as eligible reports are published.

Built for the desk’s workflow

Authenticated dashboard for published intelligence across all six commodities. Availability varies by commodity and date. Existing sugar, coffee and cocoa delivery also supports CSV/JSON over SFTP. Corn, soybeans and wheat are frontend-only.

An external API or MCP server can be built on request; neither is a productized external endpoint today.

Price data with a clear boundary

Existing price context uses continuous front-month daily closes, not official ICE settlement. Wheat’s news scores do not provide a separate price signal. Missing or stale price data must be distinguished from a fresh observation.

Broad sources, specific coverage

Contracted APIs cover a universe of more than 300,000 data sources. That is not the number represented in every commodity view. News Coverage shows the published sources and languages.
