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 a file to download. Learn how to read macro-financial indicators.

Commodity prices sit upstream of every inflation print and industrial cycle, yet the long monthly history is spread across agency workbooks and databases. Eco3min gathers it in one hub, with files that keep each source’s terms.

Beyond the raw series, six original cross-commodity studies read the basket as a whole: real-price divergence (what we grow vs what we burn), food-price dynamics, the inflation signal, equity diversification and the gold-copper ratio. Each comes with a reproducible method and, where its sources’ terms allow, a downloadable dataset. Jump to the research ↓

Cross-Commodity Research

Original studies built on the whole commodity basket, not a single series: real-price divergence, food-price dynamics, the inflation signal and equity diversification. Each comes with a reproducible methodology and, where its sources’ terms allow, a downloadable dataset (CSV & XLSX) with their attribution.

6 studies

Energy

Crude oil, US and European natural gas, coal, LNG and uranium: the energy complex upstream of every inflation cycle, including the 2022 shock. the uranium supply-demand imbalance offers a detailed reading of it.

8 datasets

Industrial Metals

Iron ore, copper and the base-metal complex: cyclical gauges of global industrial demand.

7 datasets

Precious Metals

Gold and silver: the monetary metals, stores of value and inflation hedges across regimes.

3 datasets

Agricultural Softs

Cocoa, coffee, sugar and fibres: the soft commodities, including the record 2024-2025 cocoa and coffee moves.

7 datasets

Grains & Oilseeds

Wheat, corn, soybeans, palm oil and rice: the global food-inflation staples.

Refined Fuels & Retail Energy

Gasoline, diesel and jet fuel at the pump and the wholesale terminal: the refined products downstream of crude, where taxes, refining margin and distribution drive prices that the barrel benchmark alone does not explain.

8 datasets · 1 study

Electricity Prices

US average retail electricity rates by customer class. Unlike fuels, roughly half of the retail rate is regulated grid cost, which is why household power prices climb steadily through gas-price crashes.

Sources, access and licences

Most series reproduce a column of the World Bank Commodity Price Data (The Pink Sheet), licensed CC BY 4.0. They are monthly averages from 1992, with iron ore from 2006 and rice from 2010. Gold and silver come from the same workbook, monthly since 1960. Crude oil and US natural gas come from the U.S. EIA via FRED, refined fuels and electricity from the EIA directly, daily to monthly, some with histories back to the 1980s. Each series keeps its source’s terms, detailed under Data Source & Access at the bottom of the page.

Most single series reproduce a column of the World Bank Commodity Price Data (The Pink Sheet). They cover metals, agricultural goods, coal, LNG, European gas, gold and silver, as monthly averages in the workbook’s units. Crude oil and US natural gas come from the U.S. EIA via the FRED API, refined fuels and electricity from the EIA directly. The cross-commodity studies also draw on the FAO Food Price Index. No API key is needed to download the files.
