What is CommoditiesChart?
CommoditiesChart is a research site for commodity market data, built for independent commodity and macro investors. It presents historical commodity prices and related series, including crude oil prices, metals, agriculture data, inventories, Treasury rates and economic indicators, as charts that can be compared over long periods. Public data pages can be browsed without an account, and the site is available in English and Chinese.
Rather than presenting figures as live quotes, the platform focuses on verifiable context. Each series page explains what it measures, its units and its latest observation date, and it points to methodology and source references such as the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Tools like historical percentiles and long-run averages help place a current value within its sample, while signed-in users can build and save their own Custom Charts workspace.
