Commodities span precious metals, energy and industrials, and their prices respond to a mix of supply-and-demand fundamentals, the US dollar and the global growth outlook. Gold is a classic safe-haven and inflation hedge, while crude oil reacts to OPEC+ policy and geopolitics. Live spot and futures prices for the most-watched commodities are listed below.
The Trend column shows an indicative trend line that updates as live prices stream in. It is not a chart of real intraday price history.
Because most commodities are priced in dollars, they often move inversely to the greenback — a stronger dollar tends to weigh on metals and energy. Inventory reports, production decisions and risk events can spark large moves, so track them through our economic calendar and news feed.
