Material Market Watch · Alerts (per month)

Material Market Watch · Alerts upgrades the monthly watch into an event-triggered service — you hear about a move when it happens, not at month-end.

An enterprise data terminal is the right buy if you trade a whole portfolio in real time. Most smaller producers and importers do not need that — they need to know when something changes on the one or two materials they live by.

This retainer watches your chosen materials, suppliers and competitors, and sends a short, decision-framed alert when a meaningful event occurs: a price move, a supply disruption, a competitor action, a policy shift. Each alert ends with what it means for you and whether to act.

Price: From $3,400 per month. Turnaround: Ongoing — first report within 5 working days, then on agreed cadence. Languages: English or Simplified Chinese.

The verdict you get: Closes with a clear GEB verdict — proceed, adjust or stop — plus a confidence level and the one risk that matters most. Not a data dump; a decision.

What you receive

• Continuous monitoring of your chosen materials and competitors
• Event-triggered alerts, not just a monthly note
• A short read on what each event means for you
• A monthly roll-up with the trend and a verdict
• Direct line to the analyst for a quick second opinion

Best for

• Producers and importers exposed to one or two key materials
• Anyone who finds enterprise data subscriptions overkill and over-priced
• Teams that need to be told when to act, not handed raw data

Not for: Not an exchange-grade, real-time data feed across a portfolio — for that, an enterprise subscription is the right tool.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the monthly Material Market Watch?

The Alerts tier is event-triggered: you hear about a meaningful move when it happens, not at month-end, with a short read on what it means.

Is this a real-time data feed?

No. For exchange-grade real-time data across a portfolio, an enterprise subscription is the right tool. This is a focused, decision-framed alert service on your chosen materials.

What triggers an alert?

A price move, a supply disruption, a competitor action or a policy shift on the materials, suppliers or competitors you have chosen to watch.
