How can I Track Commodities on Stockcharts.com?

 | 

Stockcharts.com provides spot prices for several commodities. These are EOD charts, which means the data is updated at the end of the day (after the close). Chartists can track precious metals, copper, energy related commodities and agricultural commodities. This list can be found on the Market Summary page by choosing “End-of-Day” in the drop down box. The commodity prices can be found by scrolling just below the mid point of the EOD Market Summary page.

Chartists can also track commodities by using ETFs. These are shown by choosing “ETF” in the drop down box at the top of the Market Summary page. Stockcharts.com has selected over a dozen commodity related ETFs to track on this page. These prices can be found by scrolling down towards the end of the ETF Market Summary page.
