Commodity prices today — gold, silver, oil, copper, and more
Commodities are physical assets traded globally on futures and spot markets. Prices move 24 hours a day, five days a week — and around the clock for cryptocurrencies. Ongoing price monitoring is therefore important for investors and savers with commodity exposure.
Precious metals
Gold price today
Gold is the world's most closely watched commodity and is widely considered the ultimate store of value. The gold price is quoted in USD per troy ounce (31.1 grams) and is set by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). It moves with the dollar rate, rate decisions from the Fed and ECB, geopolitical uncertainty, and central bank purchases.

Silver price today
Silver is traded in USD per troy ounce, like gold, but is more volatile. Silver has a dual role: it is both a monetary metal (store of value) and an industrial material (solar panels, electronics, medicine). This makes the silver price more sensitive to economic cycles than gold.

Energy commodities
Oil price today
Crude oil is priced in USD per barrel (one barrel = 159 litres). The two dominant benchmarks are Brent Crude (North Sea oil, the European reference) and WTI (West Texas Intermediate, the North American benchmark). The oil price is driven by OPEC+ output decisions, global GDP growth, and geopolitical risks in producer countries.

Industrial metals
Copper price today
Copper is traded in USD per tonne on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). It is called "Dr. Copper" because the copper price is seen as reflecting global economic sentiment — when it rises, it signals industrial expansion. Copper is also a critical input in electrification and EV infrastructure.

Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin and Ethereum are regarded by many investors as a new asset class with commodity-like properties (limited supply, decentralised). They are priced in USD and traded around the clock, 7 days a week.

Currencies and commodity prices
Commodity prices in USD are translated into local currencies via the prevailing exchange rate. A weak local currency makes commodities more expensive to buy — but increases the local-currency value for those already holding USD-denominated commodities. Keep an eye on exchange rates:

What drives commodity prices?
Supply and demand
The fundamental driver. If a mining region is hit by a strike or natural disaster, supply contracts and prices rise. If global industrial production increases, demand for copper and energy rises.
The dollar rate
A stronger dollar makes commodities more expensive for buyers in other currencies — which can reduce demand and push prices down. A weaker dollar has the opposite effect. This is one reason gold and the dollar have historically had a negative correlation.
Geopolitics
Conflicts in commodity-producing regions (Middle East, Russia, Africa) can disrupt supply chains rapidly and severely. Energy commodities are particularly sensitive to geopolitical events.
Central bank policy
Rate increases typically strengthen the dollar and weigh on the gold price. Rate cuts and quantitative easing tend to benefit gold and commodities generally.
Frequently asked questions about commodity prices
Where can I follow commodity prices for free?
InvestViewer's network of specialist sites offers free real-time data: guldpris.nu (gold), silver.nu (silver), olja.nu (oil), kopparpris.se (copper), bitcoinpris.se and eth.se (crypto). For broader commodity data, TradingView and Investing.com are widely used.
How often are commodity prices updated?
Spot prices update continuously during trading hours (weekdays 08:00–18:00 CET for London-based markets, extended hours for CME/NYMEX). InvestViewer network sites fetch prices at regular intervals and therefore display near-real-time data.
What is the difference between spot price and futures price?
The spot price is the price for immediate delivery. The futures price is the agreed price for delivery at a future date. The futures market gives a picture of what the market expects for future price development. Commodities often trade "in contango" (futures more expensive than spot) or "in backwardation" (futures cheaper than spot).
