Metals and markets

Prices for the commodities our companies are exposed to, with the benchmark and the date on every figure. Where no free live feed exists, we show a published annual reference price from a named government source instead, and say so.

Commodity movement

Percentage change by period. Precious metals from the LBMA auction; copper, crude oil, lead, nickel, tin and zinc from MetalpriceAPI daily prices.

Annual reference prices

No free live feed exists for these. Each shows a published annual average from a US government source, with its year, so you can see scale and direction. None of them is today's price.

Annual averages. A year marked e is the publisher's estimate.
