Pricing intelligence

This lack of visibility creates significant risks for market participants. Agreeing on fair and reliable purchasing contracts is challenging in these circumstances. Sudden, unexpected changes to market conditions make it essential to have up-to-date pricing intelligence on which to base purchasing decisions.
