Commodity
Antimony
Antimony is used mostly as a flame retardant, an unglamorous application that nonetheless makes it hard to substitute at scale. It appears on several critical mineral lists.

Metals and markets
Prices for the commodities our companies are exposed to, with the benchmark and the date on every figure. Where no reliable free price exists, we show none rather than an unreliable one.
Commodity movement
Direction is shown by arrow and sign as well as by colour. Base metals settle as monthly averages, so shorter periods are not published for them and are not estimated.

Commodities without a published price
These are assessed by specialist trade services behind subscriptions. There is no free, legal, reliable feed, so we publish no figure. Their pages carry everything else.

Commodity
Cobalt
Cobalt stabilises battery cathodes, which is why it matters far beyond the small volumes involved. It also carries a supply chain question that few other metals do.
-
Commodity
Germanium
Germanium is a by-product metal with no market of its own. It is recovered mainly from zinc processing residues and some coal fly ash, so its availability depends on decisions taken for other reasons.
-
Commodity
Graphite
Graphite is the anode material in almost every lithium-ion battery, which means battery demand pulls on it just as hard as it pulls on lithium, with far less attention paid.
-
Commodity
Lithium
There is no single lithium price. Spodumene concentrate, lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide are separate products with separate benchmarks, and a company's economics depend on which one it actually sells.
-
Commodity
Molybdenum
Molybdenum makes steel harder and more resistant to heat and corrosion. Demand tracks heavy industry, energy infrastructure and pipelines rather than consumer goods.
-
Commodity
Platinum-group metals
Six metals that occur together and behave similarly: platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium. Platinum and palladium have their own pages here because they are priced daily; the others are assessed less transparently.
-
Commodity
Rare earths
The rare earths are seventeen elements that are not especially rare, but are rarely found in concentrations worth mining and are genuinely difficult to separate from one another. The separation, not the mining, is the bottleneck.
-
Commodity
Titanium
Most titanium never becomes metal. The great majority of production is refined into titanium dioxide pigment, which is what makes paint, paper and plastics white.
-
Commodity
Tungsten
Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, which is precisely why it is hard to replace in the applications that use it. Pricing is normally referenced through ammonium paratungstate rather than the metal itself.
-
Commodity
Uranium
Uranium does not trade like an exchange-listed metal. Most volume moves under long-term contracts between utilities and producers, and the published spot figure is an assessed monthly indicator rather than a continuous market price.
