Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Commodity.com publish a periodic table?

Fourteen of the 118 elements drive trillions of dollars of commodity markets. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium are precious-metal futures. Copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, lead, tin and iron are industrial-metal contracts. Lithium, cobalt and uranium are strategic metals with their own price feeds. We host the full table so traders can see which elements matter to their portfolios in context.

Which elements are commodity-traded?

Currently 14: lithium, aluminum, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, palladium, silver, tin, platinum, gold, lead and uranium. Other elements like rhodium and indium have thin but real markets; we add them to the tradeable list as reliable price feeds become available.

Where do the atomic weights come from?

The 2021 IUPAC standard atomic weights. For elements without stable isotopes we use the mass number of the longest-lived isotope, noted with square-bracket convention in primary sources.

How often are element prices updated?

The same cadence as our individual price pages. Precious metals refresh every 60 seconds during market hours (TwelveData Pro). Industrial and strategic metals refresh hourly (MetalPriceAPI). When the page loads, the table shows the last cached quote; JavaScript then hydrates live values from our API.

Can I embed this table on my site?

Yes. Use the Embed button above the Commodity-traded elements table to copy an iframe snippet. Every embed links back to Commodity.com as the source - required by our data licence and fair to the contributors who maintain it.

Is the reference data reviewed by an expert?

Atomic numbers, symbols and masses follow IUPAC 2021 verbatim. Use cases, producers and reserve notes are reviewed against the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries and Royal Society of Chemistry element profiles. Any discrepancy gets logged in our corrections page.
