Investors in agricultural commodities are in sites for a new Hydric Stress Indicator launched by alternative data specialist QuantCube Technology. The tool is designed to provide insights into drought risks in the crop-producing regions of 20 countries.

The technology, which is available to commodity traders, financial institutions, agricultural growers and food producers, uses meteorological data and satellite imagery to offer early warnings of drought.

“As climate risks continue to challenge agricultural markets, the QuantCube Hydric Stress Indicator provides traders with a critical advantage in enabling them to anticipate disruptions,” said Alice Froidevaux, director of product development and CFA ESG at Paris-based QuantCube Technology. “In particular, the indicator is a game-changer for participants in agricultural markets eager to optimise their hedging strategies.”
