Copper spot and futures are separate products

This page is HG-USD-SPOT, the live copper spot reference quoted in USD per pound. It is separate fromHG-USD-FUTURES, the futures settlement series; do not use the futures row as a substitute for this spot product. HG spot is on every plan; futures are Legacy plans only. Source timestamps and staleness are returned by the API.

See streaming for live ticks, bars for interval history, and pricing for current access.
