How can we get commodity prices in R?

As the title, I know we can use quantmod package to get stock prices, but how can we retrieve commodity prices like Gold, Oil or Aggs?

Solution

  • Use Quandl package, here are some examples

    Gold <- Quandl("LBMA/GOLD")
WTI <- Quandl("CHRIS/CME_CL1")
Corn <- Quandl("CHRIS/CME_C1")

    You can go to their website for more information.

    This is the page you can get ticker information.
