| Commodity rows | Quotes of the named ETF proxy, US dollars per share | Yahoo Finance |
ETF quotes are not spot commodity prices: futures funds can diverge from spot because of contract rolls and expenses, and URA owns equities. Return columns and chart actions use the named proxy, which can differ from the spot or futures quote.
About this page
Live prices for 21 commodities across metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, aluminum), energy (WTI and Brent crude, natural gas, gasoline, heating oil, uranium) and agriculture (corn, wheat, soybeans, coffee, sugar, cocoa, cotton, live cattle), with annualized returns over 1, 5 and 10 years and the long run.
Commodities produce no cash flows, so they behave nothing like stocks and bonds. Gold tends to do its best work when real yields fall or crises hit, oil tracks the global business cycle and geopolitics, and both can sit flat for a decade before moving violently. That low correlation to financial assets is exactly why some allocators hold them.
Why do investors hold gold?
As insurance more than as an investment. Gold has held purchasing power across centuries and tends to rally when real interest rates fall, inflation surprises or confidence in institutions wobbles, which is when the rest of a portfolio struggles.
What moves oil prices?
Global demand growth on one side and OPEC decisions, US shale output and inventories on the other, with geopolitics capable of overriding all of it in a week.
