About the Commodities Heatmap
The commodities heatmap shows 29 of the world's most traded raw materials on one map, in six groups: energy, precious metals, industrial metals, grains and oilseeds, softs, and livestock and dairy. Prices are front-month futures from CME, NYMEX, COMEX and ICE.
A commodity has no market cap, so each tile is sized by the value of a year of world production at the current price. That puts crude oil, natural gas and iron ore next to gold in proportion to how much money each market actually represents, rather than giving every contract the same weight.

Commodities Heatmap FAQ
How do I read this heatmap?
Each tile is one commodity. The tile's area is its market size (or the dollar volume of its front futures contract, if you switch "Size by"), and its color is the price change over the selected period: green for gains, red for losses, deeper shades for moves above 5% and 15%.
How is a commodity's market size calculated?
Market size is the live futures price multiplied by estimated annual world production, using figures from USGS, the EIA, the USDA and the international coffee and cocoa organizations. Crude oil is split between Brent and WTI, and wheat between the Chicago and Kansas City contracts, so nothing is counted twice.
Which commodities are on the heatmap?
Brent and WTI crude, natural gas, gasoline and diesel; gold, silver, platinum and palladium; copper, aluminum and iron ore; corn, wheat, soybeans, soybean meal and oil, rice and oats; coffee, sugar, cocoa, cotton, lumber and orange juice; live cattle, lean hogs and milk.
When do commodity prices update?
Futures trade nearly around the clock from Sunday evening to Friday evening US time. Prices on the map refresh every minute and can be delayed by 10 to 15 minutes. Over the weekend the map shows Friday's close.
