Commodity Prices
Download clean global commodity price datasets (CSV & Excel) — energy, industrial and precious-metal inputs, agricultural softs and grains. Each page provides key statistics, Python/R code examples, historical context and free download. Learn how to read macro-financial indicators.
Most series come from the IMF Primary Commodity Prices database via the FRED API (monthly, from 1992). The energy and precious-metal benchmarks — crude oil, natural gas, gold and silver — are higher-frequency FRED series (oil and gas from the U.S. EIA), with histories reaching back to the 1960s–1980s.

Commodity prices sit upstream of every inflation print and industrial cycle — yet the long monthly history is scattered across IMF tables. Eco3min cleans and structures it in one hub, free and open.
