THE MARKETS DESK / PRICES & POSITIONING

The numbers.
The forces behind them.

Rates, metals and energy in one place. Move from the market snapshot to the reporting, the source data and the people making the argument.

Eight signals. Three timeframes.

Each card retains its observation date. Daily, weekly and monthly are changes between published observations, not a live quote feed.

How changes are calculated

Percent change = (latest ÷ comparison − 1) × 100. Daily uses the previous observation; weekly uses the last on or before seven days earlier; monthly uses the last on or before the same calendar date a month earlier. Yield changes also show basis points. Green means a rise and red a fall.

What to read together

The reporting, in context

From the featured voices
