Commodity Market Overview Streamed Into Excel

Our users love the cool Excel templates we provide to help them analyze cash commodities or forecast US crop production, but sometimes you just need to see what’s going on in futures markets. Well the wait is over. A simple, but extremely powerful template that helps users keep an eye on and analyze the futures markets.

Just select the product of your choice and the most active contracts will start streaming right into your dashboard. View multiple products at a time and get a view of current forward curves - which will update in real-time directly the chart. Additionally, we provide prebuilt spread matrixes that identify opportunities for calendar spreads and options strategies.

I’d tell you more about it, but it’s really that simple. 😛
