A consolidated portal of commodity market data — Coffee, Grains, Energy, and Livestock — built to be readable by you and by AI. CFTC positioning, USDA supply & demand, agro-climatic conditions, and EIA energy data in one place. Pair the news your AI already follows with the hard numbers it usually can't access.
Explore the Demo →SoftSignal is for people who follow commodity markets seriously and want the data their broker doesn't show them. If you use Barchart for prices and wish there was somewhere clean to read the fundamentals — storage levels, crop conditions, positioning, weather — this is built for you.
What this isn't: an analyst service. There are no trade signals, no proprietary models, no market calls. The reports show you the data — clearly, consistently, in one place — and the AI assistant helps you ask questions of it. You bring the interpretation.
Each report is self-contained, updated on its own schedule, and hosted as an interactive HTML document. Subscribers receive a summary email with a direct link to the current week's issue, which updates in place throughout the week. All four publications are included in a single subscription.
