As with most indices, the composition and weight assigned each
component in the Reuters CRB has changed over time. Those included in the table
to the left reflect the most recent facelift, December 6, 1995, and remain static.
These charts below present a "macro-"picture of prices for physical commodities
included in this bellwether indicator. (Futures on this index are traded at the NYFE, the
trading cycle being January, February, April, June, August, November.)
