How does Region Alert help commodity traders?

Region Alert monitors local-language signals from producing regions, including labor strikes, export bans, port blockades, and weather events. Traders receive actionable alerts 12-24 hours before disruptions appear on Bloomberg or Reuters.

What commodities does Region Alert cover?

Current coverage includes cocoa (Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Ghana), gold and minerals (Central Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa), palm oil (Southeast Asia), and energy commodities (Middle East, West Africa). New commodity-region pairs can be activated within 48 hours.

How much does commodity trading intelligence cost?

The Professional plan for commodity traders starts at $999/month per region. Given that a single early warning on a cocoa price movement can represent six-figure savings, ROI is typically achieved within the first month.

Can I integrate Region Alert with my existing trading tools?

Yes. Region Alert delivers intelligence via email, Slack integration, and API. Flash alerts can be routed directly to trading desks or risk management dashboards.
