Materials Price Tracker
Commodity price trends behind your material costs. Useful for sensing which way prices are moving before you lock a quote. Delayed market data in USD (futures/ETF proxies) — indicative of direction, not a buy price.
About this tool
Materials Price Tracker charts commodity and currency trends that feed into your material costs — copper, aluminium, lumber, steel, diesel, gas and the AUD/USD rate — over periods from one month to two years. It's for sensing which way prices are heading before you lock in a quote, not for buying decisions. The data is delayed market data, shown for direction rather than precision.
How to use it
- Choose a commodity or the AUD/USD rate from the list.
- Pick a time range from one month to two years.
- Read the trend chart to see whether the price is rising or falling.
- Cross-check against your own supplier pricing before quoting.
FAQ
Is this free?
Yes — the price tracker is free and unlimited.
Is the data live?
No — it's delayed market data (futures/ETF proxies), useful for direction rather than an exact buy price.
Does it store what I look at?
No — nothing is uploaded; the charts are fetched and rendered for you to view.
Should I quote directly off these prices?
No — treat it as a sense-check; always confirm current pricing with your supplier before quoting.
