About Novaex
Novaex is an AI-powered decision engine for commodity trading, purpose-built for the base metals industry. The platform provides live, contextual intelligence — real-time pricing across LME, MCX, SHFE, and COMEX, unified position management, and risk analytics — so physical metals buyers can price right, hedge right, and see a reconciled P&L in real time.
Founded by commodity market operators and engineers who lived the problem — chasing scattered feeds, fixing broken spreadsheets, and reconciling positions across siloed systems — Novaex replaces fragile legacy workflows with a single source of truth for metals pricing and hedging decisions.
