CMDTY · Exposure
Why the currency moves.
Global commodity benchmarks mapped to each market's export base — the terms-of-trade layer behind every African FX and yield move. Cedi to gold and cocoa, naira to Brent, birr to coffee, kwacha to copper.
| Gold (GH·ZA) | $2,390 |
| Cocoa (GH·CI) | $7,850 |
| Brent (NG·EG) | $78.4 |
| Coffee (ET·KE) | 232.5¢ |
| Copper (ZM·CD) | $9,420 |
Phase 2 adds Africa's own commodity exchanges — Ethiopia's ECX, SAFEX grains on the JSE, and Ghana's GCX — local prices carried by no global vendor.
