Mysteel's Chinese commodity reporting is now available on Bigdata.com, fueling AI agents with first-hand, machine-ready intelligence on China's physical and futures markets.
We partnered with Mysteel, China's largest commodity market intelligence provider, to make its reporting accessible for AI workflows on Bigdata.com. Enterprises can now feed real-time coverage of China's metals, energy, chemicals, agriculture, construction materials and new-energy supply chains directly into AI agents and research workflows. It's available as Commodity Intelligence, included with Financial Newswires.
Following China's commodity markets has long been a challenge for global investors and traders. Prices are only part of the story: what moves them is a dense web of production data, inventories, trade flows, plant shutdowns and policy decisions, much of it reported locally and scattered across sources. By the time that context reaches analysts outside China, the opportunity to act on it has often passed.
"Prices tell you what happened in China’s commodity markets. Mysteel tells you why," said Kevin Crosbie, Chief Data Officer at Bigdata.com. "Mysteel’s teams track what is happening in the mills, ports and warehouses where supply and demand actually take shape, and the industry already trusts its prices enough to settle contracts against them. On Bigdata.com, an AI agent can now explain moves in commodity markets, not just report it."
“China plays an important role in global commodity markets, and we see growing demand for professional China insights based on global perspectives from international clients,” said Nickey Fu, Commercial Director at Mysteel Global. “Through this partnership with Bigdata.com, we can bring Mysteel’s first-hand market insights to a wider audience and make our research more accessible through AI-powered tools.”
