Gross spreads from daily benchmark prices (fixed input recipes). They exclude power, labour, freight and contracts, so use them for direction and extremes, not as reported margins.

Direction and confidence only, not an earnings estimate: size depends on cost share, hedges and pass-through. Links named in a company's own description rank above links inferred from its industry.

For each company that names the commodity in its own business description: year-on-year change in operating margin (points) against the year-on-year price change of that commodity, over its last results quarters. Other inputs, product mix and the demand cycle also move margins, so treat it as an indication.

Implied volume growth = revenue growth ÷ price growth of the products a company sells (quarterly, year on year). It also carries product mix, other businesses and the demand cycle, so treat it as an indication of pricing power, not a measured elasticity.

Margin pulse is the average 3-month price move of what a company sells minus what it buys. Pricing power and margin sensitivity come from its quarterly results (only for companies that name the commodity in their own business description). Indications from past data, not forecasts.

Both quotes converted to ₹ per common unit at the latest exchange rate, so currency moves are held constant. Gaps also reflect grade, taxes (China quotes include VAT), freight and contract basis, which is why the signal is the change from the usual gap (z-score), not the gap itself. Possible arbitrage or supply tightness in one market; not a trade recommendation.

Ratio of prices on the dates both have data. Weights are converted to a common unit when both are quoted in the same currency; otherwise a warning shows and the ratio is of the quoted numbers. The shaded line is the average over the window; the z-score says how far today's ratio is from it.

A research signal, not advice. Pulse = average 3-month change in the prices a company sells minus the average for what it buys. It ignores volumes, hedging, contracts and pass-through, so check the company page before acting.

Average margin pulse of the listed companies in each industry (weighted by market cap, companies above ₹1,000 cr, industries with 3+ names). The driver shown is the commodity moving most companies' margins in that industry. Direction, not an earnings forecast.

"Abnormal 1-month moves" compare the latest 21-observation change with every such change in the commodity's own history (z-score; 2+ means a move of that size is unusual for it), a quick way to spot supply or demand shocks. Volatility = standard deviation of the last 60 observations' moves, ranked as a percentile of the commodity's own history (needs ~2 years of data). "Worst fall" is the largest peak-to-trough drop in the last year. Useful for sizing procurement and hedging risk; it says nothing about direction.

Every item in India's Wholesale Price Index (Office of the Economic Adviser, DPIIT; base 2022-23 = 100), monthly. It is an index of Indian wholesale prices, not a price, and covers many things no exchange quotes (pulses, tea, tyres, paints, medicines). Changes compare the latest month with 1, 3 and 12 months earlier. "Site price" opens the matching market quote.
