commodity prices
Raw goods valuations
Commodity prices are the market values of raw materials and primary goods—oil, gold, wheat, copper, coffee.
These prices fluctuate based on supply, demand, and speculation, often serving as economic indicators: Rising commodity prices signal inflation concerns.
The term typically refers to goods traded on exchanges rather than finished products.
