Understanding Data Frequency
Updated every business day from public data sources. Reflects end-of-day benchmark prices.
IMF/World Bank global commodity price indices. Published monthly with 1-2 month lag. Provides historical context over longer periods.
Why the difference? Daily commodity prices from exchanges are freely available for energy products. However, metals and agricultural commodities are typically traded through private contracts, so free public data is only available as monthly averages from international organizations.
