Commodities the AI build-out basket, priced daily

Every commodity the pipeline already collects, in one grid. The first group is the cross-cut nobody else publishes as a basket: the inputs the AI datacenter build-out is bidding for — copper and aluminum (feeding the DC Build index), DRAM spot, GPU-hours, and wholesale power. Futures history runs from 2017, so year-over-year is real, not a since-launch approximation.

Futures are front-month closes (FMP); DRAM/NAND are DRAMeXchange session averages, published as derived readings with attribution; GPU-hours are marketplace medians (vast.ai) and spot averages (sfcompute); wholesale power is day-ahead hub LMPs (CAISO, MISO, PJM via EIA/ICE). 30-day and YoY compare against the observation nearest that far back (±3 days — markets close on weekends). Sparklines trace the last 60 observations; new sources fill in as history accrues. Copper and aluminum also feed the Data Center Cost Index as anchored forward tails — this page shows the raw prices.
