Commodity Tracker covers nine base metals—aluminum, aluminum alloy, Nasaac (North American Special Aluminum Alloy Contract), copper, lead, nickel, tin, zinc and cobalt—by gathering metal shipping data from over 75 commodity warehouses through bills of lading, warehouse receipts, warehouse releases and stock reports. The system then digitizes and normalizes the information.
