Markets schedule & open hours

The Vesper Marketplace operates distinct trading windows for each product to ensure focused and efficient trading sessions. All users are encouraged to participate during these dedicated times to make the most of active trading opportunities.

Product-Specific Trading Windows

• Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP)

  • Market Open: Wednesdays, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM CET

  • During this one-hour window, all SMP-related bids and offers are active. Buyers and Sellers can engage in negotiations and finalize deals.

• Butter

  • Market Open: Wednesdays, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM CET

  • The Butter market opens immediately after the SMP market, providing a dedicated time for participants to focus on Butter transactions.

Pre-Market Listing Visibility

• Create Listings in Advance
  Customers can create listings before the market window opens. These listings will be visible to counterparties, allowing Buyers and Sellers to review potential offers or bids ahead of time.

• Negotiation Start Time
  Active negotiations can only begin once the market window officially opens. This ensures all participants have a fair opportunity to respond and engage at the same time.

Important Notes for All Participants

1. Active Listings
   Listings for each product will only be actionable during their respective trading windows.

2. Negotiation Closure
   All negotiations and listings that do not result in a finalized deal will expire at the end of each product’s trading window.

3. Prompt Participation
   To maximize trading opportunities, ensure you are logged in and ready to participate at the start of each trading window.
