Compare commodity prices

Rebasing sets every series to 100 at a chosen month so that different units ($/kg against $/t against $/bbl) can share one chart. A reading of 180 means the price is 80% above its level in the base month. Choose two to four series and a base month; the link updates so you can share it.

How it works

For each series the tool divides every monthly value by the value in the base month and multiplies by 100. Worked example, using the two series preset below: arabica coffee averaged $4.19/kg in January 2015 and $7.26/kg in September 2026, so its rebased value is 173. Cocoa moved from $2.92/kg to $5.92/kg over the same months, a rebased value of 203. Both rose, but cocoa rose slightly more relative to where it started, which is the comparison rebasing is for.

Series with no quote in the base month are rebased to the first month that has one, and the table says so.
