Commodity Prices & Market Data
DataPorium is a multi-asset analytics platform for tracking commodity prices in real time. Follow live gold, crude oil, natural gas, and agricultural markets, explore interactive charts with key statistics, and compare timeframes — all in one fast, clean interface built for traders and analysts.
Commodities are the raw materials that power the global economy, grouped into energy (crude oil, natural gas), metals (gold, silver, copper), and agriculture (wheat, corn, coffee). Their prices respond to supply and demand, weather, geopolitics, and the strength of the US dollar, which makes them a useful gauge of inflation and economic health. The same commodity data is also available through the DataPorium financial data API.
To analyze a commodity, start with the timeframe: short ranges reveal intraday volatility, while longer ranges show the broader trend and seasonality. Compare the current price against recent highs and lows to judge momentum, and watch how commodities move relative to currencies and equities. Many investors use gold as a hedge during uncertainty and track oil as a barometer of global growth, so reading these markets in context leads to sharper decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Which commodity prices can I track?
Track live prices for energy commodities like crude oil and natural gas, metals such as gold and silver, and agricultural futures, all with interactive charts.
Is the commodity price data real-time?
Yes. Commodity quotes and charts update continuously through the trading day, so you can follow gold, oil, and other markets as they move.
Can I analyze commodity market trends?
Each commodity pairs a live price chart with key statistics, helping you spot trends, compare timeframes, and understand market direction at a glance.
What is futures positioning for commodities?
5 trader groups are counted every week in each commodity future: producers and merchants, swap dealers, managed money (funds), other large traders and small traders. The Positioning tab shows how many contracts each group holds long, short and net, from official public data.
How often is commodity futures positioning updated?
Once a week. Positions are counted every Tuesday and published the Friday after, so the Positioning tab shows the newest Tuesday about 3 days later.
What does net long mean in futures positioning?
Above zero: net = long minus short contracts, so 120,000 long and 40,000 short is a net long of 80,000 contracts, a bet on higher prices. Below zero the group is net short.
How far back does commodity positioning history go?
To 1986 for the classic groups (commercial hedgers, large speculators and small traders) and to June 2006 for the detailed groups. Pick 1Y, 5Y or All on the Positioning chart.
What is the 3-year positioning index?
0 to 100: where this week's net position of the large speculators sits between their most net short week (0) and their most net long week (100) of the last 3 years.
