Market Research / Commodities

Metals, energy, and crops, priced beside everything else

Monitor spot pricing, futures term structure, and institutional positioning across physical commodities. Reconcile macro inflation hedges against your digital asset book on a single clock.

Asset-level pricing and market data

Open any commodity for its spot price, the unit it trades in, the range it has held, and the holdings behind it. The full record behind a row in a table, on the surface you found the row on.

  • Spot and futures tracking

    Monitor price action across base metals, precious metals, energy benchmarks, and agricultural products

  • Quoted in its own unit

    Ounces, barrels and pounds spelled out, rather than normalised into one number

  • Volatility profiling

    Measure historical and implied volatility to read the macro risk environment

Futures term structure and forward curves

Contango or backwardation is the market saying whether it wants the barrel now or in six months, and a spot quote cannot say it. The curve sits beside the price, so a desk carrying inventory sees the shape before it sees the level.

  • Contango and backwardation

    Monitor the shape of the forward curve to identify physical tightness or oversupply

  • Roll yield

    Calculate implied carry costs and annualised roll yields across active contracts

  • Calendar spreads

    Evaluate front-month against deferred-month differentials in real time

The hedge, checked against what it hedges

Gold against crude against bitcoin, rebased to one window. The metal is the hedge everyone names, the barrel is the growth trade it is meant to be uncorrelated to, and the coin has spent a decade being described as one or the other. On one axis the relationship is a measurement rather than a belief.

  • One axis, three asset classes

    Put a metal, a barrel and a digital asset on the same rebased scale, so a $2,684 ounce and a $65,142 coin are read against each other

  • Correlation against the hedge

    Read each asset against gold over the window rather than inferring the relationship from two shapes

  • Volatility beside the return

    Hold the move against the annualised volatility that produced it, since the same return from a 14% asset and a 46% one is not the same trade

Tokenised commodities and the premium they carry

An ounce in a vault and a token claiming one are not the same instrument. Follow every tokenised claim on a physical commodity: who issued it, what it is redeemable for, and what it trades at against the metal itself.

  • Every wrapper, ranked

    Compare each tokenised claim by on-chain size, issuer and the chain it settles on

  • Backing and redemption terms

    Check what is vaulted behind a token, who attests to it, and the size a holder can redeem in

  • Premium to spot

    Track the wrapper against the metal it claims, so a premium is visible in basis points as it opens

Cross-asset portfolio reconciliation

Gold against bitcoin, crude against the equity index, copper against the growth trade. Same axes, same window, correlation measured rather than assumed, so the macro hedge is checked rather than believed.

  • Digital asset correlation

    Track gold, silver and crude against bitcoin and ether on the same axes and window

  • Tokenised commodity mapping

    Reconcile physical spot pricing against tokenised gold to spot premium and discount gaps

  • Correlation, measured

    Read how the relationship actually moved rather than assuming the hedge holds

“Before Seerian, we were paying for separate analytics platforms and manually stitching the data together in internal dashboards. Now, our entire research stack is in one place, natively integrated, and perfectly mapped to our live portfolio. It completely changed how we evaluate our positions.”
