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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Commodities as an inflation hedge worked unevenly from 2021 to 2026: consumer prices rose 27.5%, gold gained 139%, copper 58% and oil 39%, but timing decided who was protected.
Agricultural commodities in 2026 turned higher after June: corn futures rose 33% from their low, soybeans 19% and wheat 25% as the USDA cut the corn crop and raised price forecasts.
US refiners and crack spreads in 2026 are at extremes: Gulf Coast diesel traded $102 a barrel above WTI in early September, refineries ran at 98% and Valero's margin nearly doubled.
