How to read this page
How it’s measured. Each asset is followed through a widely held fund. Scores compare the past three months’ move with the fund’s own last five years, or its life if shorter; 100 is the strongest run.
Sources. Daily prices from Financial Modeling Prep.
Funds stand in for the assets: GLD for gold, USO for oil futures, IBIT and ETHA for bitcoin and ether. Futures-based funds like USO can lag the spot price over time because of the cost of rolling contracts.
Miners and producers are companies, so they add stock-market and company risk to the commodity’s own moves.
