Polymarket commodities markets
Polymarket's commodities series price where gold, silver, and oil will trade over daily and weekly horizons, in strike structures similar to the crypto markets.
Marketlens records these books at full depth alongside the crypto majors. Activity spans a wide range, from the heavily traded crude oil strike series to quiet metals books, which makes the category a study in the same market mechanics under very different depth and participation.
This page lists the commodities series in the catalog. For what the commodities archive holds and how to pull it, see Polymarket price history.

How many Polymarket commodities markets does Marketlens have data for?
The archive covers 2,511 commodities markets across 25 recurring series, of which 2,376 have resolved. Coverage runs from March 1, 2026 through September 17, 2026.
What data is available for each commodities market?
Most markets have full L2 order book history (snapshots plus every price change with millisecond timestamps), trades, and candles; the longest dated books carry full depth snapshots at regular intervals alongside their trades and candles. Every market stores its final resolution outcome. Data is served through the REST API and Python SDK, with bulk Parquet exports for offline work.
How much do these markets trade?
Combined traded volume across the category is $247.8M. Per series volumes are listed in the table on this page.
Can I backtest strategies on commodities markets?
Yes. Pass any series slug from this page to client.backtest() in the Python SDK. Execution mode replays the order books tick by tick and fills simulated orders against real depth with queue priority, latency, and fee modelling; Alpha mode replays one bar per market for slower signals over long windows.
