Cross-commodity price reporting and market intelligence for agriculture, metals, energy, and forest products
Fastmarkets is a 140-year-old price reporting agency serving opaque commodity markets (metals, agriculture, energy transition, forest products). The tech stack — Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, Fivetran, Airbyte, Power BI — reveals a company mid-transformation toward modern data ops: multiple ingestion tools suggest data source fragmentation, while dbt + Dagster + Snowflake indicate an emerging focus on reproducible, orchestrated pipelines. Active hiring across data (12), marketing (12), and sales (11) roles, plus projects around "modern data platform" and "automated campaign building," signals aggressive standardization of internal data workflows alongside customer-facing product expansion.
Fastmarkets operates as a price reporting agency and market intelligence provider across four commodity verticals: metals and mining, agriculture, forest products, and energy transition. The company consolidates intelligence from over a dozen acquired brands (Metal Bulletin, American Metal Market, RISI, FOEX, Agricensus, Random Lengths, and others), delivering price data, forecasts, supply-chain insights, and in-person events to trading desks, hedgers, and industrial buyers. Founded in 1882 and headquartered in London, Fastmarkets operates across 501–1,000 employees and maintains a global hiring footprint spanning the UK, US, India, China, Singapore, Brazil, and Bulgaria. Revenue flows from subscription price feeds, analytics, consulting, and event sponsorship.
