Questions it answers

What it answers.

02
Who it is for

Who uses it.

A bulk carrier loads copper concentrate beside towering stockpiles at a Chilean port at dawn, conveyor gantries stretching over the dark hull

Physical commodity traders

Daily: where to buy, where to ship, when to fix. Copper, crude and soybeans priced in each market, one currency, show a route's landed cost shifting.

Aerial view of a combine harvester cutting golden wheat in a Kansas field in the late afternoon, a long plume of dust trailing behind it

Commodity and macro funds

Before adding: is the trade already crowded? Fund positioning ranked against each market's own history, beside each week's stock surprise.

At dusk a Gulf Coast refinery glows amber, its towers, pipes and spherical storage tanks black against a darkening sky, a lone worker's silhouette on a high catwalk

Risk desks at producers, refiners and banks

Valuing futures and physical stock each evening. Notice and expiry dates, roll cost and stocks against their range show where risk sits into delivery.

An airline's hangar at dawn with a parked jet, a fuel bowser beside the wing and ground crew in orange jackets walking under the fuselage

Treasurers at airlines, food makers and manufacturers

Fixing next year's fuel, gas or metal bill? Each price against its long-run range shows whether you fix near the top or bottom.

Fuel retailers and fleet operators

Forecourts set prices against rivals; fleets choose where to fill. Station-by-station prices in the UK, France and Western Australia show who moved first.

Modelled, tested, simulated, run

What we model, test and run.

Set-up, modelled

Tight stocks, crowded longs, delivery near

US crude stocks below their five-year range, funds near record long, front month over the next, first notice days away. What it has meant before, and what it likely means now.

Arbitrage set-up

Copper in Shanghai and London

Copper in Shanghai against London, in dollars; crude across Shanghai, the Gulf and the North Sea. Flagged when the gap beats freight, insurance, duty and financing on your terms.

Theory, tested

Crowded funds against building stocks

When funds crowd one side while stocks build: how often the market turns against them, and how fast.

Simulation

European gas winter stress run

Europe's winter from today's stores and flows: a pipeline shut, cold weeks, fewer gas cargoes. Out: each country's end-winter level and the date it breaks your floor.

Engine

Futures hedging and roll engine

Layers hedges month by month, rolls before first notice, stands aside at daily price limits. Energy, metal and grain futures. Runs in your systems, on your rules.

What Panbiota can build

What we build for you.

Stock surprise gauge

Each weekly US count of crude, petrol, diesel and gas scored against what is normal for that week. Alerts when one lands outside. Europe's gas stores daily, country by country.

Crowding radar

How far funds lean in each oil, gas, metal and grain market against its own history. Extremes flagged, no trade calls.

Hedge timing tester

Your hedging rule, such as fixing more when price sits low in its range, set against fixing evenly. We show whether it truly holds.

Origin basis board

Daily cash prices against futures: soybeans at Paranaguá, and soybeans, wheat and maize at Rosario, in dollars per tonne. Basis moves day by day, beside arabica against robusta.

Pump pass-through model

How fast crude reaches the pump, rises and falls measured apart. Station by station in the UK, France and Western Australia. Tells a Perth fleet which day fills cheaper.

Services

Delivered to you.

Mist lies over a wheat field on the Saskatchewan prairie at first light, a combine harvester small on the horizon and one farmhouse window already lit

Morning commodity reading

Energy, metals and farm goods, before the open. What moved against its usual range, where stocks are tight, how funds lean, what reached the pump.

A line of grain elevators beside a railway in Illinois at sunset, a freight train of hopper cars passing in front

Roll and notice watch

Daily, per contract held: days to first notice and expiry, today's roll cost and the stock picture behind it.

A treasury office at a manufacturer with a long meeting table and glass walls looking out onto the factory floor in late morning light

Hedge decision record

The market as each hedge is placed: price against range, basis, stocks, positioning. What the desk saw, for board or auditor.
