Why It Matters for Market Intelligence
Commodity market analysis helps teams interpret market change, decide what warrants deeper research and prepare defensible internal updates. Supply chain analytics can help frame developments across markets, while a commodity market outlook provides context for changing supply and price conditions.
CRU Risk Navigator helps you assess changing supply and price risk, understand the factors driving it and prioritise where further research may be needed. It currently covers copper, aluminium and steel with more commodities to follow. CRU price forecasts can provide additional context for research and reporting.
The Story Behind CRU Risk Navigator
CRU Risk Navigator was developed in response to a challenge we repeatedly heard from the market: understanding risk is often less about finding information and more about knowing what matters.
In this video, Matthew Perlman, Product Owner of CRU Risk Navigator and Senior Innovation Manager at CRU, reflects on the customer needs and market observations that helped shape the platform.

Prioritise Analysis and Create a Shared View
Commodity market analysis can help teams turn a broad flow of market developments into a clearer view of what merits further attention. Use Risk Navigator within your research workflow to review changes across tracked materials, examine the drivers, and prioritise which developments need deeper analysis.
The CRU Risk Navigator can fit alongside existing market intelligence and planning workflows. Teams can use the same external view of risk and its drivers as a shared reference in cross-functional discussions. It can support a defensible update for leadership, while complementing rather than replacing existing reports, spreadsheets and market updates.
Bring Consistent Market Context into Leadership Discussions
Commodity market analysis can support leadership discussions with a consistent external view of supply and price risk, the drivers behind it and the relevant time horizon. A commodity market outlook can help frame market context for conversations about continuity, cost, margin and governance.
The CRU Risk Navigator’s methodology and scope can be reviewed as part of assessing fit with existing research and reporting.
