Why track commodity prices
A commodity is a raw material, and raw material sets the baseline price for almost everything. Iron ore dictates a major share of the profits of the stock exchange's largest mining company; crude oil reaches you at the gas pump; gold serves as a gauge for global fear; and the price of a bag of soybeans or an arroba of cattle impacts food inflation, the trade balance, and exchange rates.
For investors, quotes serve as a thermometer. You almost never buy the physical commodity itself—you buy shares of companies that produce or consume it, agribusiness-linked funds (Fiagros), and receivable funds. Knowing where prices stand relative to their history is what separates reading the news from understanding market cycles. Favorite the ones you care about and track them in My Dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Where do these prices come from?
From two sources, depending on the commodity. Metals and energy (gold, silver, copper, iron ore, crude oil) come from the daily close of the international futures market, in US dollars, converted to Brazilian real using the Central Bank's PTAX selling rate for the same day. Brazilian agriculture prices come from the physical reference prices provided by CEPEA/ESALQ, calculated from actual business transactions.
Why is each commodity displayed in a different unit?
Because each market trades in its own standard. Gold and silver are measured in grams (a troy ounce is 31.1035 g), copper in kilograms (a pound is 0.4536 kg), iron ore in tons, crude oil in barrels (159 liters); in agriculture, soybeans and corn are measured in 60-kg bags (60), rice and sugar in 50-kg bags (50), live cattle in arrobas, wheat and cassava per ton, and pork and chicken per kilo. Each page provides ready-to-use conversions.
Is this the price I pay at the store?
No. This is the wholesale price of the raw material. Between this price and what you pay, costs include processing, freight, taxes, and retail margins—which is why the price of gold here is not the jewelry store price, and a barrel of crude oil is not a liter of gasoline. Each page explains this difference in detail.
How do I track a commodity on my dashboard?
Favorite the product here (you must be logged in). It will then appear in the Favorites tab of My Dashboard, featuring updated prices and charts—no need to register a portfolio position.
Can you invest directly in these commodities?
In some cases, yes—gold and silver have ETFs, B3 contracts, and physical markets. In most cases, no: average investors gain exposure via sector stocks, funds, ETFs, or futures contracts. Each page includes a section explaining the available pathways and risks for each asset.
