Bloomberg Indices has expanded its commodity coverage with the launch of the BCOM Global Commodity Singles Indices (BCOM Global Singles), offering investors granular exposure to individual commodities across global markets.
The new indices cover energy, metals, agriculture, livestock, and additional commodities, extending beyond the 25 futures tracked in the flagship Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM).
The launch reflects a growing demand from investors for precision tools to align commodities strategies with macroeconomic themes, regional trends, and portfolio diversification goals. By providing single-asset indices, Bloomberg enables market participants to target specific sectors, currencies, and regional dynamics within commodities markets.
“Investors are increasingly seeking more precise and flexible ways to access commodities within diversified portfolios,” said Jigna Gibb, Head of Commodities and Crypto Index Products at Bloomberg Index Services. She added that deeper liquidity in new futures markets has made it both viable and necessary to offer this expanded single-asset coverage.
The BCOM Global Singles track long positions in individual futures contracts, including regionally significant and non-USD denominated instruments. Sectors covered include energy, industrial and precious metals, grains, soft commodities, and livestock. The indices are designed to capture evolving market dynamics, from supply chain shifts and geopolitical developments to trends in energy transition and food security.
Bloomberg clients can access the new indices via the Bloomberg Terminal, along with research and methodology documentation.
