Currencies Futures Prices - Barchart.com (2024)

The Futures Commodity Groupings page lists the lead contracts of the major North American and European Futures Markets.

Broken down into different commodity groups, you will see new price data appear on the page as indicated by a "flash". Futures prices are delayed 10 minutes, per exchange rules, and are listed in CT.

Time Frames

Choose from one of two time-frames from the drop-down list found in the data table's toolbar:

Intraday - Intraday prices by commodity will always show prices from the latest session of the market. The 's' after the last price indicates the price has settled for the day.

End-of-Day - End-of-day prices by commodity are updated by 7pm CT each evening, and include the previous session's Volume and Open Interest information.

Data Updates

For pages showing Intraday views, we use the current session's data with new price data appear on the page as indicated by a "flash". Stocks: 15 minute delay (Cboe BZX data for U.S. equities is real-time), ET. Volume reflects consolidated markets. Futures and Forex: 10 or 15 minute delay, CT.

The list of symbols included on the page is updated every 10 minutes throughout the trading day. However, new stocks are not automatically added to or re-ranked on the page until the site performs its 10-minute update.

For reference, we include the date and timestamp of when the list was last updated at the top right of the page.

Page Sort

Pages are initially sorted in a specific order (depending on the data presented). You can re-sort the page by clicking on any of the column headings in the table.

Views

Most data tables can be analyzed using "Views." A View simply presents the symbols on the page with a different set of columns. Site members can also display the page using Custom Views.

Each View has a "Links" column on the far right to access a symbol's Quote Overview, Chart, Options Quotes (when available), Barchart Opinion, and Technical Analysis page. Standard Views found throughout the site include:

  • Main View: Symbol, Name, Last Price, Change, Percent Change, High, Low, Volume, and Time of Last Trade.

  • Mini-Chart View: Available for Barchart Plus and Premier Members, this view displays 12 small charts per page for the symbols shown in the data table. You may change the bar type and time frame for the Mini-Charts as you scroll through the page. The default settings for Mini-Charts are found in your Site Preferences, under "Overview Charts".

View Symbol More Data (+)

Unique to Barchart.com, data tables contain an option that allows you to see more data for the symbol without leaving the page. Click the "+" icon in the first column (on the left) to view more data for the selected symbol. Scroll through widgets of the different content available for the symbol. Click on any of the widgets to go to the full page. The "More Data" widgets are also available from the Links column of the right side of the data table.

Horizontal Scroll on Wide Tables

Especially when using a custom view, you may find that the number of columns chosen exceeds the available space to show all the data. In this case, the table must be horizontally scrolled (left to right) to view all of the information. To do this, you can either scroll to the bottom of the table and use the table's scrollbar, or you can scroll the table using your browser's built-in scroll:

  • Left-click with your mouse anywhere on the table.
  • Use your keyboard's left and right arrows to scroll the table.
  • Repeat this anywhere as you move through the table to enable horizontal scrolling.
Flipcharts

Also unique to Barchart, Flipcharts allow you to scroll through all the symbols on the table in a chart view. While viewing Flipcharts, you can apply a custom chart template, further customizing the way you can analyze the symbols. Flipcharts are a free tool available to Site Members.

Note: Flipcharts, unlike the full-page chart or Dashboard, does not stream updated data to the chart.
