How to read this page
- [1]This page is built for long-run trend reading rather than spot-price monitoring because it uses official annual USGS prices.
- [2]The long history comes from Data Series 140, with the latest years appended from USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 based on each metal's available chapter coverage.
- [3]Gold and silver are shown in USD per troy ounce, while all other tracked metals are shown in USD per kilogram. Recent tungsten chapter prices are converted with the official USGS metric-ton-unit relationship so the series stays comparable.
