How do I find data on futures, options, and commodities?

In Bloomberg, press the ‘F9 CMDTY’ key on the keyboard for commodities and commodity derivatives data. Or use the ‘DERV’ function (type ‘DERV’ and press Enter) for all types of futures and options data.

In Datastream, when choosing the ‘Data Category’, select ‘Derivatives’, ‘Futures or Options’ or ‘Commodities’.

OptionMetrics via WRDS has historical prices of options going back 13 years.

Consider the following websites:

UNCTDADstat Commodity Price Statistics has annual and monthly data back to 1960 for agricultural and mineral commodities.
The World Bank Prospects Commodity Markets publishes commodity prices and quarterly forecasts.
USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service gives production, yields and prices for agricultural commodities throughout the world. See also USDA Foreign Agricultural Service PSD Online.
Global Economic Prospects from the World Bank.
