How To Use This Portal

This futures portal displays the latest settle price for 68 of the most commonly traded futures contracts from the CME and ICE exchange groups.

Click on any of the "Topic Page" links, or on the name of any futures contract, to go to a more detailed information page about that contract. For each contract, the information page has descriptive and delivery details, the latest settle prices, volume and open interest, the most recent CFTC commitment of traders data, prices for the full futures strip (also known as the term structure), and a list of all historical contracts. Click on any of these items to be taken directly to their underlying data pages.

You can also click on any commodity price listed here on the main Futures Page, to go directly to a data page showing the full front-month price history for that commodity.

Quandl's data pages show you raw data, along with an interactive (scale-able and scroll-able) graph of that data. The data pages also show the original publisher of the data, the full source URL, and information about how recent the data is. You can download any dataset in any format you choose (XLS, CSV, HTML, JSON, XML) directly from its data page on Quandl.
