# Commodities **Route:** `/commodities` **Meta title:** Commodities **Meta description:** Spot prices, curve shape, and the positioning reports behind metals, energy, and crops. _Generated by `scripts/build-extracts.ts` from `getFeature('commodities')`. Edit the content object, not this file._ --- ## Hero _Eyebrow:_ Market Research / Commodities **Metals, energy, and crops, priced beside everything else** Monitor spot pricing, futures term structure, and institutional positioning across physical commodities. Reconcile macro inflation hedges against your digital asset book on a single clock. - Primary CTA: Request a demo → `/demo` - Secondary CTA: See market research → `/market-research` --- ## Benefits ### Asset-level pricing and market data Open any commodity for its spot price, the unit it trades in, the range it has held, and the holdings behind it. The full record behind a row in a table, on the surface you found the row on. - **Spot and futures tracking**: Monitor price action across base metals, precious metals, energy benchmarks, and agricultural products - **Quoted in its own unit**: Ounces, barrels and pounds spelled out, rather than normalised into one number - **Volatility profiling**: Measure historical and implied volatility to read the macro risk environment ### Futures term structure and forward curves Contango or backwardation is the market saying whether it wants the barrel now or in six months, and a spot quote cannot say it. The curve sits beside the price, so a desk carrying inventory sees the shape before it sees the level. - **Contango and backwardation**: Monitor the shape of the forward curve to identify physical tightness or oversupply - **Roll yield**: Calculate implied carry costs and annualised roll yields across active contracts - **Calendar spreads**: Evaluate front-month against deferred-month differentials in real time ### The hedge, checked against what it hedges Gold against crude against bitcoin, rebased to one window. The metal is the hedge everyone names, the barrel is the growth trade it is meant to be uncorrelated to, and the coin has spent a decade being described as one or the other. On one axis the relationship is a measurement rather than a belief. - **One axis, three asset classes**: Put a metal, a barrel and a digital asset on the same rebased scale, so a $2,684 ounce and a $65,142 coin are read against each other - **Correlation against the hedge**: Read each asset against gold over the window rather than inferring the relationship from two shapes - **Volatility beside the return**: Hold the move against the annualised volatility that produced it, since the same return from a 14% asset and a 46% one is not the same trade ### Tokenised commodities and the premium they carry An ounce in a vault and a token claiming one are not the same instrument. Follow every tokenised claim on a physical commodity: who issued it, what it is redeemable for, and what it trades at against the metal itself. - **Every wrapper, ranked**: Compare each tokenised claim by on-chain size, issuer and the chain it settles on - **Backing and redemption terms**: Check what is vaulted behind a token, who attests to it, and the size a holder can redeem in - **Premium to spot**: Track the wrapper against the metal it claims, so a premium is visible in basis points as it opens ### Cross-asset portfolio reconciliation Gold against bitcoin, crude against the equity index, copper against the growth trade. Same axes, same window, correlation measured rather than assumed, so the macro hedge is checked rather than believed. - **Digital asset correlation**: Track gold, silver and crude against bitcoin and ether on the same axes and window - **Tokenised commodity mapping**: Reconcile physical spot pricing against tokenised gold to spot premium and discount gaps - **Correlation, measured**: Read how the relationship actually moved rather than assuming the hedge holds --- ## Stats **The physical market, on the same clock as everything else** Institutional teams rely on Seerian for continuous visibility into global commodity markets, forward curves, and positioning data, integrated with their digital asset book. - **Metals, energy, agriculture**: Priced per their own unit - **Curve shape**: Contango and backwardation, charted - **Positioning**: Commitments of Traders, weekly --- ## Research tools **Universal commodity analysis tools** Apply Seerian’s core research capabilities to any individual commodity across the platform using standardized market data inputs. - **Commodity price comparison**: Chart multiple physical commodities side-by-side to evaluate relative strength, seasonal trends, and sector rotation → `/market-research/compare` - **Cross-asset correlation matrix**: Measure historical price correlation between the physical markets and digital assets to check a macro hedge rather than assume it → `/correlation` - **Macro entity graph**: Map the relationships between a physical market, its tokenised equivalents, and the issuers behind them → `/relationships` - **Term structure and roll yield indicators**: Monitor contango and backwardation slopes, calendar spreads, and implied carry costs across the commodity complex → `/indicators` --- ## Showcase **Collaborative commodity analysis** Document macro research, attach notes to specific forward curve inversions, and discuss positioning with your team alongside live market data. - **Discussion and annotation**: Notes anchored to the point on the chart they are about → `/team-collaboration` - **Watchlist integration**: Add energy benchmarks, precious metals, or agricultural contracts to shared team watchlists with a single click → `/watchlists` - **Dashboards**: Pin term structure charts, positioning tables, or cross-asset correlation matrices onto a shared dashboard → `/dashboards` - **Contextual news feed**: Stream geopolitical developments, supply disruptions, and macro releases impacting the commodities you monitor → `/news` - **Custom alert routing**: Route threshold notifications for curve inversions, extreme positioning skews, or volume spikes to Slack, Telegram, Teams, WhatsApp, or PagerDuty → `/alerts` - **Seera AI prompts**: Summarise the weekly positioning report, calculate deferred contract roll yields, or draft internal macro risk briefs → `/seera` --- ## FAQ Answered in [/faq.md](https://seerian.com/faq.md), the extract of [/faq](https://seerian.com/faq), which carries every question on the site. --- ## CTA - Request a demo → `/demo`
